1.

Transmitted herewith are two memoranda concerning

the request by a

• U.S. lawyer to examine some photographs taken

in September and October 1963 of an unidentified American

entering the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.

The 18 September 1972

memorandum is from local LNERGO and provides background -- related

to an interest in the Lee Harvey Oswald

case - of the

lawyer's request. Our reply, dated 19 September 1972, is self-

explanatory.

2.

It appears likely that the lawyer concerned will pursue

his interest in the photos, and therefore we want you to be aware

of his request.
