DicLansy, Mike Treinine Camps

Cry end -hul,

In response to the list of nerves nf these reported arrested nerth

of eake Pontedertrain iu 1964, tee erchives h. es coee up with only one teet is

clene, not one of teoce i gave teem. it is my recollection one is identical

with a name ox the bus manifest. ef tLis ;ee cesa, tei did aet mcee MEIMA

files of the minifest or they are holding out.

The attached none pager. of CD 829 ere, however, fascinating. aere we .

have a ean from a much better teen average ctetion in euben society fine, it would

seem, one who knew Mike Mclaney well enough to get a post—Caetro job from him.'

Laving the eagle .fitronymic does not moon he is rel=ated to Soto Vesquesi but

the possibility exists.

Than it turns out there is *Ellie cone ection with the camps, the McLeney

brother raving provided tee property for the eeleo depot.

unless race lection is nem:se, e'on or, the filing agent, knew about

the camps because he worked on the Fernando 1?ernandez bit.

Does anyone have tee 00oneor 12/31/63 report, or is it one I've already

used, referred to erepve

TLcsa eezes do not reflect (p 1, per 1 )b hoe the 'ramotke" intAceted

lx "led the employee.to believe" he "wes acquainted with Ld0, unless it wee

reeeeesto Jfter use.

eescrietica ie rether meager, with even woi ht omit ed.

uopy net sant .eery for usual reasons (time, paper, condition machine).

If no one bee this 12/31 report end one.doee have better identificaticn

(perhe s there is only one in biblio) I will get et Archives.
