Contact Division (now Domestic Coliection Division — DCB) had its resident agent in Dallas, Mr. J. Walton Moore, contact Mr. de Mohrenschiidt at that time. The . - - history of Mr. Moore's relationship with Mr.. de Mohrenschildt from 1957 - to 1961 is also attached at C. As a routine matter, Mr.: Moore requested a traces on Mr. de Mohrenschildt.
