178 A Little Unpleasantness [117]<br />

"She said that she wouldn't name names. 'That could get me killed,'<br />

she said. 'Don't ask me that question. I want you to promise me that you<br />

won't ask me that question.' However, " according to Lane, "Mr. Hunt's<br />

lawyer asked her that question and she answered it, to my surprise. She said<br />

that it was the Novo brothers."<br />

According to Lane, "The Novo brothers—Guillermo and Ignacio—are very<br />

interesting characters. I've done some research on them. I can assure you,"<br />

said Lane, "that the first time I heard their name connected with the Kennedy<br />

assassination was when Miss Lorenz gave their names to Hunt's lawyer. She<br />

had not told me anything before that.<br />

"After her testimony to Hunt's lawyer, I asked Miss Lorenz, 'Why did<br />

you tell them?' She said—referring to Hunt, the CIA and his lawyers—`If<br />

they are so dumb as to ask me that question, then it is not my fault if I give<br />

them the answer. It's on their heads,’ said Miss Lorenz. `If you had asked<br />

me, it would have been a different story. However, if the CIA—through<br />

Hunt and his lawyers—asked that question, then it's on the record and it's<br />

their fault, not mine.’"<br />

THE HUNT-BUCKLEY CONNECTION<br />

"These Novo brothers that Miss Lorenz named have been involved in a<br />

series of intelligence related crimes. They were involved in the murder in<br />

Washington, D.C. in 1976 of former Chilean government official Orlando<br />

Letelier and Ronnie Moffit, a woman who was with him. A man named<br />

Michael Townley who was connected with the Chilean secret police was<br />

involved in planning the Letelier murder with the Novo brothers. When<br />

Townley was indicted, he testified against the Novos.<br />

"Townley was questioned by the FBI who asked Townley to show<br />

them where in New York City he had his first meeting with the Novos.<br />

Townley pointed out a building at 500 Fifth Avenue and showed the FBI the<br />

office on the 41st floor where the first meeting was held." 315<br />

According to Lane, research indicated that the meeting was held in the<br />

office of then-U.S. Sen. James Buckley (C-N.Y.). Now a federal judge on<br />

the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Buckley is<br />

the brother of former CIA operative and conservative fortnightly National<br />

Review founder William F. Buckley, Jr.<br />

(E. Howard Hunt was William F. Buckley's immediate superior in the<br />

CIA during the period that the two served together in the CIA in Mexico for<br />

nine months in the period of 1951-52.)<br />

According to Lane, "The testimony by Townley made reference to a<br />

William Sampol who worked in James Buckley's office. Sampol was a<br />

cousin of the Novo brothers." 316<br />

Lane points out that the murder of Letelier took place during the time that<br />

George Bush was director of the CIA: "There is evidence that Bush was given<br />

information that indicated that the Chilean government was responsible<br />

for the murder of Letelier. However, Bush gave information to
