Re Mexico City letter and letterhead memo both dated

3-16-64, concerning information furnished by Elizabeth Catlett

Mora about subject.

One copy of relet and one copy of re memo are enclosed

for the information of Dallas:

Enclosed for New York are 2 copies of relet and 2

copies of re memo.

New York should furnish a brief descriptive

characterization of Mary Louise Camacho who appears to be the

person mentioned by Mora and referred to particularly in

paragraph 4, page 2, of re memo.

Although Mora's information should be furnished to

CIA and'the President's Commission at the earliest possible

time, the memo is not being disseminated at this time because

of unresolved questions raised by it.

As you point out on the

first page of relet, MEX-18 and MEX-19]wili be with Mora when

she recovers from the illness she has had since 1-6-64, possib

for a 2- or 3-day period, and they should obtain from her all

aspects of her knowledge

regarding subject.

It is expected that

some of the questions raised by re memo will be resolved by

2 informants. Some of these questions are set out below:

these

From your sources furnishing information about the

"CP of Mexico, do you have confirmation of Mora's information

set out in paragraph 2, page 1, of re memo that the CP of

Mexico was interested in obtaining all information regarding

subject's Mexican trip? Is there any indication steps have been

taken by the CP of Mexico to obtain this information? Also, what

other information have you received, if any, that the CP of

Mexico was interested in obtaining information as to how much

American authorities knew about subject's trip to Mexico?

Letter to Legat, Mexico

CONFIPANTIAL

In paragraph 3, page 1, of re memo Mora reportedly

spoke

of subject's "activities before his trip to the Soviet

Union."

In paragraph 5, page 1, she spoke of his activities

in New. Orleans before he went to Russia.. Subject left

New Orleans in September, 1959, for Russia after spending

a very short period of time there.

No information has been

developed that he engaged in any subversive activities while

in New Orleans at that time.

It is possible that although

Mora spoke of Oswald's activitles before he went to Russia,

that what she meant

was, before he went to Mexico. This point

should be clarified.

In paragraph 2, page 2, of re memo the question arises

as to whether it was Mora, Mora's source or the Americans in

Russia who believed that subject could not have undertaken

singly to assassinate President Kennedy.

Although Mora is a Mexican citizen, it is possible

she will have to be interviewed eventually.

Underlying all

the information she furnished as set out in re memo, lies the

question whether she met with subject while he was in Mexico.

Your continuing investigation of Mora's knowledge

of subject should aim at answering the above questions and

your next memo should contain these answers.

your recommendations alter MiX-18 and MEX-19 have been with (U

Mora as to any additional investigative steps which should

taken. Continue to pursue your investigation vigorously.

It is noted ie memo is classified "Secret." When

this memo is disseminated to the Commission questions may

be asked about this classification and, therefore, you should

in your next communication to the Bureau relating

to Mora,

fully detail your reasons for this classification.

The Bureau

is not questioning the correctness of the classification but

merely asking that you set forth fully your reasons for it.
