any knowledge of LCN activities and membership in the Dallas

area with specific reference being made toward

JOSEPH FRANCIS

CIVELLO, JOE IANNI, and ROSS MUSSO.

DALLAS

Maintain contact with DL 298-C-TE

and DL 299-C-TE for

AT BALLAS, Intornation concerning activities of the

subject in the Dallas area.

ADMINISTRATIVE DATA

It is noted information was received from DL 299-C-TE

which had been obtained by him from PHILIP STEPHENS BOSCO,

wherein known LCN member JOSEPH FRANCIS CIVELLO identified

himself and ROSS MUSSO as LCN members in the Dallas area and

furnished the identities of persons CIVELLO would propose

for membership.

A review of this information reflects that IANNI

was not identified as a member nor as a proposed member.

It is the conclusion of the Dallas Office, however, that

the possibility of IANNI being a member of LCN should not

be eliminated as DL 299-C-TE

identified subject's father

as a member and there is a record of toll calls from the

subject's residence to the residence of identified member

ROCCO PELLEGRINO in White Plains, New York.

It is further

noted that the subject is a known close associate of JOSEPH

FRANCIS CIVELLO and is allegedly one of the persons who,

with CIVELLO, is financing a bookmaking operation by PHILIP

BOSCO.

It is further noted that although IANNI was not

identified by DL 299-C-TE, there is no information from the

informant to indicate the definite elimination of IANNI as

a member of LCN. In view of this, investigation is continuing

and at the appropriate time, IANNI will be approached with a

view toward development as

an informant.
