Summary:  
The document details telephone call records and investigative activities linked to James Earl Ray's movements between December 15-17, 1967, in Texas locations including El Paso, Alpine, Van Horn, and Marathon. These calls were part of an FBI investigation into Ray’s potential connections to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The FBI requested analysis of long-distance call records along specific routes (e.g., Interstate 10, Route 90) to trace Ray's movements. A report notes that Mrs. Donovan, a passenger on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Philadelphia on April 6, 1968, identified an individual resembling Ray on the plane. The FBI compiled phone numbers associated with passengers and individuals in the area, including names like Boddor, Haisch, and Crider, as part of broader investigative efforts.
