               MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director of Central Intelligence

               SUBJECT:         Supplementary Information on James Earl Ray

               REFERENCE:       DDO Memorandum for DCI dated 23 October 1975
                                Subject:  Background for Rather Interview -
                                James Earl Ray



                    Dick Ober (then in CI) who wrote all the early Ray cables,
               recalls that he had numerous discussions with the FBI on the
               matter, and is certain that whatever we did was undertaken .at
               the request of the FBI.  Because of the fast moving situation,
               most of his discussions with the FBI were on the phone, and
               not the subject of written memoranda.  The paper clipped
               outgoing cable in referring to Eric Galt (the man initially
               identified by the FBI as the assassin of Dr. King) requests
               addressees make every effort determine if Galt is or has
               been in your area.  Information para one should be passed
               to liaison and any other likely sources.  FBI requests that
               any information reported be evaluated as to reliability and
               that as much detail as possible be provided.  Cable any
               positive reply priority to HQS. and pass to legal attache
               if any in your country.  There is a scribbled note in the
               file, presumably in Ober's hand, which reads:  u.  Ray
               fingerprints:  FBI agreed to my proposal we send to field
               for liaison.  Ober, also logically points out that the FBI
               would not have provided us later with a fingerprint formula
               (see attached cable), a detailed physical description and
               photos unless they wanted this passed on to overseas liaison
               services.  (Note that our cables did not go, for example, to
               Ottawa or  exico City )
