09/24/64: Cable from Mexico City to Director: Slugline RYBAT GPFLOOR: "1. COS will recall that several photos of unidentified person were handcarried by legal attache officer to Dallas on about 23 November to assist in investigation. Soon after Oswald's arrest and prior to his murder by Ruby, cropped photo of this man was shown by the FBI to Oswald's mother who disclaimed any knowledge. 2. After Oswald's death his mother publicly claimed the FBI had shown her a photo of Ruby prior to the killing of her son. When again shown copy, cropped differently, she stated it not identical with the one shown her the first time. 3. Because of this publicly the Warren Commission will publish copies of both photos among documents keyed to its survey of FBI post-crime handling in Dallas. Exhibits will carry no caption as to origin date and place taken ect nor text. 4. Report to be published 28 October will cite the episode. Volume 16 to be published early November will reproduce one photo which we understand is closely cropped around body of individual. Shortly thereafter in either Volume 18, 19 or 20 the second photo will appear with the triangular portions cropped on sides showing background which could be construed as a tree or portions thereof and something which appears to be some kind of a bill board. 5. Ousler being called to WASH to give informed opinion of possible damage to LILYRIC or LIMITED. Will advise. (Handwritten note: Copy of LIMITED/LILYRIC. Answered 2 Dec 64. This was of tough looking American type going into Soviet Embassy. Do you have copy of photo? Did we ever get identity? S!"
