EX-103 SANTO TRAFFICANTE, JR., aka AR . Re Tampa airtel 8-27-63 which suggested that it may be more logical to designate Miami as office of origin for this investigation. Our investigation of La Cosa Nostra has generally established that Trafficante is the leader of this criminal organization in. the Tampa area. It is. desirable, therefore, that the Tampa Office should utilize the investigation of Trafficante as the initial phase in our attempt te penetrate the membership and activities of this organization in the Tampa Pield Division. Re Tampa airtel advises that Tampa contemplates closer over-all coverage of the subject's associates in an effort to develop more detailed information concerning the criminal organization in the Tampa area. You should:also take full ' advantage of every opportunity to develop live informants among these associates and the groups which operate in the Tampa Office . area. Although Trafficante spends substantial ameunt of his time in Miami, coverage of hig travel between Tampa and Miami has not yet produced detailed information on the mode of travel or the aliases which he may use if he registers as a passenger on the commercial air limes. Similarly the general purpose of his travel . would appear te be in cennection with his hoodlum operations but 7 investigation has net yet established if some of this travel is carried out for specific reasons. a uy y wy, ee ao BY fampa should therefore continue to be office of origin aey 5! in this case.

NOTE: ' Re airtel stated that coverage of Trafficante in Tampa is maintained by TP 41-C, TP 50-C, TP 107-PC, TP 120 PC, TP 105-C% and several neighborhood sources. Tampa advised that investigation has established that the subject goes to Tampa at infrequent , intervals. Our over-all investigation has not yet clearly established to any exact degree the amount of time spent by Trafficante in either Tampa or Miami. We have not yet determined why he maintains his home in Tampa and specific reasons for the amount of travel to Miami. which he performs. It does not appear logical at this point in the investigation to change the office of origin from Tampa to Miami. Docld: 322932736 Page 3
