Summary: The document discusses U.S. diplomatic and intelligence activities related to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) investigation into the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It references discussions between U.S. embassy officials in Mexico City and the HSCA regarding interviews with subjects, particularly emphasizing the use of embassy facilities for such proceedings. The Mexican chargé d'affaires expressed concerns about the potential sensitivity of U.S. intelligence operations in Mexico, noting that revelations of joint activities could harm long-term intelligence cooperation. The text also mentions a group investigating King's assassination (MICA) scheduled to arrive in Mexico City on 30 May and notes the embassy’s role in facilitating their access. Additionally, it references Telap operations (likely surveillance or intelligence projects), including Project HMM-11457 (April 1963) and HH-11257 (February 1964), which covered specific targets but lacked detailed records or identification of individuals involved. The document highlights the absence of personnel at the embassy with knowledge of events during the relevant period and notes limitations in linking photographic evidence to specific timelines.
