We have seen many references in documents to Sylvia Duran’s “ten-page statement” that she gave to the Mexican police, but we have not been able to locate the statement itself. We consider this record important in understanding events pertaining to Oswald in Mexico City. For your convenience, we have attached several of the documents from the collection that reference the statement. We request that you locate this original statement and any other records that provide any information regarding the statement. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, avid G.
