14-00000 request by the DCI to Agency employees concerning questionable activities. Two members of the Inspection Staff were assigned to ' the project, responsible for overall coordination of the research effort. Additionally, because of the emphasis given to events in Mexico by Book V of the SSC Final Report, the Office of the Inspector General employed on contract a retired employee who had served as a special case officer in Mexico City during the period preceding President Kennedy's death and during the investigation afterwards. The retired employee recalled for this task conducted an extensive review of all Mexico City files and materials held in Headquarters or retired to Archives. The result of her research is found in Tabs B and F. | 15. The file holdings in the Office of the Inpsector General are less than one safe drawer. However, the AMLASH file, held by LA Division/Directorate of Operations, was reviewed by a member of the Office of the Inspector General, as were parts of the AMTRUNK file, also held by LA Division. These two activities are discussed in Annexes D and C, respectively. | 16. There were a limited number of interviews to clarify specific points. kkk kk eK Detailed records of the research undertaken are held in the respective components participating in this effort. Selected back- up material for the final report is also held in the Office of the Inspector General.
