Frequently Asked Questions

Dated 3 October 1972, it concerns a Freedom of Information Act request by Bernard Fensterwald Jr. for twenty photographs the FBI said the CIA's Mexico City station had provided in February 1964, shown to a Mexico City department-store credit investigator, Pedro Gutierrez Valencia.

It stated it was impossible to identify the twenty individuals for lack of descriptive data — establishing that as its official position — while continuing to seek information about the request.
