Further, it appears that informant's trip .to New York City is indicative of a possible ITAR violation. ~ Philadelphia believes that open surveillances of informant and TESTA are premature at this time because of the sensitivity of informant's relationship with TESTA, CAVELLI and BRUNO. It is further believed that no further action Should be taken until the informant has thoroughly penetrated and digested the extent of BRUNO's numbers operation and advised the FBI of the identities of persons engaged in the illegal i activity. yo Informant has again been instructed to be most circumspect in noting information such as names, phone. numbers and addresses. He has been instructed to telephonically . furnish this information to the New York Office while it is . fresh in his memory in order that he can minimize note-taking. Informant stated that he did not call the New York Office over the 5/5-7/62 week end, as he was instructed, out of fear of being compromised. Informant thoroughly appreciates the danger of his position, but he continues to be most cooperative. ‘He has requested that a Philadelphia Agent be available in New York to receive his telephone call because of his , reluctance to speak with Agents unknown to him. It is believed, however, that this arrangement is at this time unnecessary. - In the event it does become necessary recommendations will be made . * In the event informant contacts the New York Office, he. will identify himself as FRANK THOMAS. If he calls, he ‘should be handléd with appropriate dispatch. The New York Office should vigorously attempt to develop a highly con- fidential source in CHERICO's residence and should expedite . investigation requested in reference airtel. Likewise, Boston should expedite Investigation requested in reference airtel. Docld: 327561696 Page 2?
