MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Norman Philcox Legal Attache FROM: CAS DATE: 20 October 1964 CIA HAS NO OBJECTION TO SUBJECT: Crank Letter Concerning Warren Commission Document
Our office in Madrid has sent us a copy of the attached Spanish-language letter addressed to the American Ambassador to Spain, and signed by one Antilin PERIS, alleging in the first paragraph that the author has some information of interest to impart. After opening the second paragraph by saying that he had to flee Paris due to an indiscretion committed there, the author states:
"There (apparently Paris), in the home of some American friends, I got hold of an authen- tic document about the assassination in Dallas, which they say was swiped from the Warren Commission and which is certainly prejudicial for President Johnson. I have it on good authority that they are currently trying to sell it to no less than the Director of "Paris-Match." Someone from the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Paris is involved in the matter."...
The author closes by suggesting that an advertisement be inserted in a Madrid newspaper if there be any interest in further details.
There are no traces from Madrid on Antilin PERIS, which according to CAS, Madrid is almost certainly an alias. Needless to say there is no return address on the letter or envelope, which was mailed from Barcelona on 26 September 1964. CAS, Madrid has forwarded us a copy of the letter on the off chance that we may have received similar allegations; in such case Madrid would appreciate learning the details so that they might inform the Embassy. It was also suggested that we show you this letter.
CAS, Paris has no traces on Antilin PERIS
