She, of course, will not know nor will she be able to observe the installation. Inasmuch as. we are trusting the informant up to this point, we apparently have nothing to lose by allowing this installation to be made. Itis between losing: the fugitive on the one hand and creating some suspicion on the part of the informant that something was preferable. REC OMMENDATION The installation is done to her car. I believe the latter is being approved and it is suggested that the Laboratory may wish to get in touch with the Dallas Office immediately to work out the necessary arrangements. in order to - effectuate the above. “ Docld: 32334824 Page 3
