The informants advised that MORA and CAMACHO correspond

items which CAMACHO has needed while, in Russia.

that time and thereafter they have not been able to develop

any additional.

information

The Mexico City Office appreciates the Bureau's

position that this matter must be pursued in depth and that the

informants should be made aware of the fact that the questions

raised by MORA's original information cannot be left unanswered.

The informants have been

impressed repeatedly with the need to

follow this case aggressively with MORA and to clarify the

original: information

They repeatedly have created situations

which would open up a discussion of the previous information

out have been met with an apparent total lack of interest o

MORA's part.

On 5/5/64 the informants pointed out that,

subsequent: to MORA's original, indication of interest in press

reports concerning the OSWALD case,

they. had repeatedly called

her attention to various articles appearing in the press,

including an article in "Life" magazine,

but received no

reaction whatsoever and no indication of interest.

(u)

Under instructions from this office the

ormants

have tried continuously to set up a two or three day trip out

of Mexico City with MORA and her husband, FRANCISCO MORA:

Definite arrangements were made on three different occasions

for the proposed, trip, and on each occasion MORA was enthusiastic

aboutlit, desiring, toget away from the family and other problems

for a few days rest and relaxation

On each occasion, however,

she postponed the trip due to financial problems with the house

she and her husband are constructing, ill health of her mother;

or pressure of developments such as important visitors arriving

in Mexico whom she had to attend.

The informants made a final

effort to set up a meeting with MoRA following the week end of

5/9-10/64 and prior to MEX-19's departure for

on 5/18/64, but MORA again claimed that as much as she wanted

to take, the trip and much as she needed the rest she would not

be able to leave Mexico City because of the projects' she had

pending. It does not appear that it will be possible to set up

such a meeting

the future in view of MEX-19's return to the

United States.

Both informants have expressed the belief that further

efforts to obtain more specific data from MORA on this matter

would be "working a dry weil." On 5/5/64 they advised that in

their opinion MORA'S complete loss of interest in the OSWALD

case indicates that she has now decided that she and her

assoclates were not actually involved with him, She,

therefore;

does not discuss the matter, any more aside from speculative'
