DUFFY had in his possession a very poor quality

Xerox-type copy of what he claims to be a Government document

This copy was furnished to him by the "National Enquirer" to

check out in an effort. to determine the background on SOUETRE,

aka and why such a dangerous man was in Dallas, Texas, on

11/22/63. DUFFY is pursuing the possibility that SOUETRE

was

an assassin in Dallas, Texas, on 11/22/63, and might have

been responsible for the assassination of President KENNEDY.

The copy of the one page document that DUFFY had
