It is therefore suggested, UACB that the Legat Mexico City make no positive effort to encourage the Mexican Government to deport GIANCANA and that their dealings with the Mexican Government should be conducted in such a ma r a, as to' consider the above opinion of the Chicago Office, ) a a af \ a ae “ wenn Nine air mie a re wenn JZ af Lie ers Docld: 322789395 Page 4
