Jn this conversation, which like the first is taped, DORTICOS expressed continued. concern oyer possibility that Mexi police had interrogated Silvia about money. 2) ALVARADO, the Nic, ‘wes questioned by CAS officer! until two a.m, this morning. This officer was impressed by: ALVARADO who hes offered make himself available as a witness and who is now! hiding in place provided by: CAS.| We'cannot guarentee ALVARADO's safety.

Echeverria later denied to LEGAT that he led any specific concrete evidence thet she was about to leaye for Cuba, We do not now know which Echeverria/ statements aré accurate. it ig quite possible, and even probable, that ccntra- dictory statements made by Echeverria are explained by desire of GOM to play down importance -of OSWALD visit, here, Mexi line still|is that OSWALD visit related solely to visa question, Consistent | with this Echeverria stated: to LEGAT ‘that ;DORTICOS only interested in finding - out whether Maxi autho’ ri¢ies tried to pay @ story fran Silvia.
