a white male carrying a Canadian passport and Lee Harvey Osw

in the company of a tall unidentified Cuban who came out of
the
Cuban Consul's office. The Cuban passed American currency
to the
Negro. The Negro, after expressing a desire to kill some m
ane was
told by the male suspected of being Oswald, that he would do
it.
Thereupon, according to the source, the Negro gave Oswald $6
,500

$1,500
was for extra expenses. Later, the source saw a female tho

MEMORANDUM FOR MR TVIALIVAN , RE: LEE HARVEY OSWALD; ASSASSINATION OF THE r4ESIDENT
CONCERNING TRAVEL OF OSWALD:
Our investigation has established that on 9-17-6 0 ald obtained a Mexican tourist card from the Mexican Consulate, New Orleans, and that on the same day he checked in at the unemployment bureau in New Orleans and completed necessary forms to obtain unemployment compensation which is mailed to the recipient by check within a few days. Check of airlines has revealed no passage of Oswald to Mexico under the name Oswald and known aliases on 9-17, 18 or 19-63. Mexican Immigration records establish that
\
Oswald entered Mexico 9-26-63 and he departed 10-3-63. Be is known to have checked out of his residence in New Orleans on 9-25-63. New Orleans is pressing inquiry to determine Oswald's whereabouts on 9-18. If he was in New Orleans on that date and it appears likely that such is the case, the allegations of Ugarte placing Oswald i. Cuban Embas on 9- - foundation.
assador Mann, 0(1.-C C' Mexico C suggeste o •e ==cre ary o e and Directors of 103 the FBI and CIA that Ugarte, the source, be put at the disposition
P"e of the President of Mexico on condition that he will agree to C' / order the rearrest and reinterrogation of Silvia Duran. He
suggested that Duran be confronted with Ugarte and that Duran be told she will not be allowed to leave Mexico and that her only chance for survival is to come clean with the whole story. The Ambassador believes that in view of the apparent character of Duran (although a married woman, she is supposed to be carrying on an affair with the Cuban Ambassador to the United Nations) she may break under the confrontation. He also suggests that the Mexican Government identify and arrest the unknown Negro, assuming he has not left Mexico.

RE: 1,13E HARVEY OSMAJJ) (: 1-
On the morning of 11-29-63 Assistant Director C. A.
Evans briefed Under Secretary of State Alexis Johnson concerning
the action taken. He said this was exactly what he had in mind
and that he realized it was up to him to issue the necessary
instructions to the Ambassador. Re pointed out that the specific
trecommendation made by the Bureau as to the handling of this
(matter was exactly what he had in mind and he felt it fortunate
that the Ambassador was getting our professional help.
Oswald's wife, during interview early this morning,
definitely places Oswald in New Orleans on 9-18-63 at time
Alvarado stated he was in the Cuban Embassy. She maintains
that her husband did not leave New Orleans between time of
their arrival there in May, 1963, and her departure from
there on 9-24 or 25-63.

on reinterroga i tion has changed his story claiming that
the 9-18-63 date of the incident may be in error and that
it may have occurred on 9-28-63. The fact that Oswald was
known to be in Mexico in late September and early October,
1963, has been publicised on 11-23-63 in Mexico City papers
in connection with Mexican interrogation of Silvia Dwell.
This fact is undoubtedly known to Alvarado. As Alvarado, in
his first account, said that he again saw two of the witnesses
to the incident in a repeated visit to the Cuban Embassy 9-26-63, and as his claimed calls to
the American Embassy
warning of a killing of a prominent person have not been
