handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch39666 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10127.10053: 10 August 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: HSCA Field Trip to Mexico City 1. The purpose of this MFR is to outline the details of subject trip for the period 6-8 August 1978 (Mexico City 46122 refers). 2. I departed Washington on Sunday, 6 August 1978 for Mexico City. Upon arrival I met with the COS and DCOS to discuss the interviews to be conducted on Monday, 7 August and Tuesday, 8 August by a HSCA team consisting of Gary Cornwell, Deputy to Mr. Blakey, Harold Leap and Edwin Lopez. It was agreed that the interview with Daniel Flores, staff, Mexico City Station in alias) would be held in the Embassy and the interview withrgimpnd Avereiiurlif would be held in the del Angel Hotel using the microphone arrangement agreed to by Mr. Cornwell at the HQS planning meeting on Friday, 4 August 1978. Electronic equipment (including TV) had already been either brought from HQS or was available at the Station. 3. On Monday, we were advised by cable that the HSCA investigators would not be coming as scheduled. As I had already made arrangements to meet withEG4Eji tfor identification purposes and to explain the interview arrangements, I decided to keep the meeting. The COS concurred. Xd~ainwas cooperative and accepted the delay as unavoidable. I advised him that I would give him as much advance notice as possible in any future interview. I did not specifically identify myself as Agency but there is little doubt that he was aware of my affiliation. Upon receipt of the second cable -- which rescheduled the HSCA trip (with Mr. Cornwell deleted) --CZiDjwas advised that the interview would, in all likelihood, take place on Tuesday, 8 August as originally scheduled. 4. At 0830, 8 August Leap and Gomez met with the COS and myself in his office. Neither Leap nor Gomez had any awareness whatsoever of the requirement to interview Flores. In fact, Lopez asked me if Flores was LIONION 1. Without exposing my concern about the lack of briefing such a question implied, I responded that LIONION 1 was in Madrid, not Mexico City. Parenthetically at the 4 August planning meeting, Cornwell had been briefed on the personal plans of Flores and had written down our request to interview him: (1) in E2 IMPDET CL BY 055636 SECRET 1985?
