SECRET

It 1s noted that Mix-18 and MEX-19

that they are unable to ascertain information from MORA

through direct questions.

Whenever a question is made to

MORA, she ceases talking, and the only manner in which these

Informants are able to ascertain data from MORA is to needle

her,

then sit back and with a sympathetic ear listen to what

she has to say.

MEX-18 and VEX-19 intend to learn from MORA addi.

tional details in order to insver the pertinent questions

which have arisen, and they intend to pursue vigorously the

objective set torth for them concerning any intornation

MORA

has in her possession concerning OSWALD. L To date these

informants have not been able to meet with MORA for a two

or three day period because of her illness and her other

preoccupations.

Present plans are for them to take MORA

on a two or three day "vacation" in the first half of April.

As soon as these informants have met with MORA,

this vill

be reported immediately, and récommendations will be

as to any additional investigative steps to be taken.

The reason for Mexico City letterhead memorändum

dated 3/16/64, being classified "SECRET" is being detailed

fully as follows:

to protect he litterhead nogandun was classified "SECRET"

and information vital to the internal security of the United

States.

It is essential that the identities of these informants

be fully protected, especially since they are the only source

which received the

discussed the information in the letterhead nemorandum with

anyone else.

informants is of paramount interest to the continued operations

of the Bureau in Mexico, and

reason the letterhead

memorandun was classified "SECRET.

This office will continue

and the results will be promptly reported to the Bureau.
