advised that he had furnished some information which the
believed originated with the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) to FERNANDO GUTIERREZ BARRIOS, the Subsecretary of
Government (Gobernacion), the agency which deported subject.
He believed this was done some weeks before subject was de
tained and deported. He did not recall exact circumstances
but thought perhaps (Mr. HARRINGTON, who was coordinating (C)
with DEA at the time, might have asked him to do this.

The Department of Immigration is under the
Secretariat of Gobernacion, so it was believed that

never received a reply to this request. In July
1974, however, our contact within Gobernacion told [c]
us that the Government of Mexico (GOM) was expelling
GIANCANA from the country, to the United States,

specific information supplied by the US Embassy,

any criminal activity here. Rather it was an
internal GOM decision to expel an unwanted alien
