Re: To SAC, New York (NY 3186-PS CONTINUANCE OF NOTE:

He has made available copies of incoming and outgoing manifests of Cubana flights between New York and Havana. New York has pointed out that PSI has not furnished data of unusual value; but because of his position, has a good potential. CIA advised Liaison Agent Papich it would not contact PSI until it had received authority to do so from Bureau. Before allowing CIA to make contact with PSI, it is believed it would be best for our interests to determine if PSI can actually assist CIA. If he is in position to assist that Agency, we will then consider what stand to take in this matter.
