zu Reily:
Oswald quickly found work in New Orleans at the Reily Coffee Company, owned by William B. Reily, a wealthy supporter of the CIA-sponsored Cuban Revolutionary Council. In a 1968 interview with the New Orleans District Attorney’s office, CIA contract employee Gerry Patrick Hemming “confirmed that William Reily had worked for the CIA for years”. As Oswald went to work in Reily’s company, he was in the company of the Company.
The Reily Company was located near the offices of the CIA, FBI, Secret Service and Office of Naval Intelligence. Directly across the street from the Naval Intelligence and Secret Service offices was another office that Oswald worked in – the detective agency of former FBI agent Guy Bannister. Bannister’s office helped supply munitions for CIA operations ranging from the Bay of Pigs to Cuban exile attacks meant to ensnare Kennedy. Guns and ammunition littered the office, and CIA paramilitary recruits checked in with Bannister on their way to and from anti-Castro training camps.

The two Reily brothers were active in anti-Castro politics. Eustis Reily supported the right-wing propaganda operation known as INCA (Information Council of the Americas). William Reily backed the Crusade to Free Cuba Committee, filled with luminaries like Claire Boothe Luce of Time-Life who raised funds for the would-be government-in-exile, the Cuban Revolutionary Committee (CRC).

The main source of information about Oswald's time at Reily's was VP William Monaghan. Oswald saw four co-workers head off to work at NASA, including the man that hired him and the man that fired him. Oswald thought he would also land a NASA job. What was going on?
Monaghan was a former FBI agent, and an industrial security specialist. Reily's may have been a place to screen industrial security applicants prior to hiring. [2] Another factor to consider is that NASA security had been watching Robert Webster - Webster's defection to the USSR appears to have spurred Oswald's defection in 1959, and then both men returned about the same time in 1962. See Part 5 of this series.
Webster's work in plastics and aerospace was of great interest to NASA, and NASA security was monitoring the Webster case even before his defection. [3] It's logical that NASA security would want to stay apprised of Oswald based on the possibility that there was a relationship between Oswald and Webster.
The man who hired Oswald, Alfred Claude, left Reily's to work at Chrysler Aerospace Division of the Michoud NASA facility in New Orleans. [4] Emmett Barbee, Oswald's immediate supervisor, went to a new job at NASA in New Orleans. Dante Marachini, hired on the same day as Oswald, went off to Chrysler Aerospace at Michoud. [5] John Branyon, a co-worker of Oswald's, also went to NASA. [6]
Adrian Alba worked at the Crescent City Garage next door to Reily's, where Oswald liked to hang out and read gun magazines. This habit was noticed by Monaghan and Charles LeBlanc and led to his firing for inefficiency. [7] Oswald then cited LeBlanc as a reference, but made sure to give the wrong address for him. [8]
Alba told the Warren Commission that Oswald told him in July 1963 that he had found "where the gold is" and would be hired by NASA to work at the Michoud plant. [9] Alba wrote his statement promptly after the assassination at the request of the Secret Service. [10] NASA, Chrysler, and other contractors in the area were then canvassed, but none of them had any record of any application by Oswald. [11]
