Re your FD-143 dated 12/4/64.

Since PIl 705-Cs has produced only a very limited

amount of intormation during the past 90-day period, your

approved.

The Bureau recognizes this source has a potential

to furnish significant criminal intelligence infornation and

you are, therefore, authorized to maintain it for an

At PL 705-C does not furnish sufficient

intermation to justity its continuance dozing the next 60

days, you should recommend that it be discontinued.

NOIE:

This misur is located in the Philadelphia apartment of

PH 672-C-TE.

This top level

informant is an admitted member of

La Cosa Nostra.

informant's residence,

has not reported of any such meetings to

date.

It is of assistance in following the activities of the

informant. However, it is felt that it has not been sufficiently

productive to warrant Philadelphia's request to continue it for

a 90-day period.
