The National Archives of Mexico furnished me these PDFs of two files from the Direccion Federal de Seguridad, DFS or Federal Security Directorate, related to the assassination of President Kennedy. The first is a file labeled John F. Kennedy. I've uploaded it here: John Kennedy file The second is the DFS file on Silvia Duran, a Mexican employed at the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City. I've uploaded it here: Silvia Duran file The documents raise more questions than they answer. The passenger manifests for Eastern Airlines flights from Mexico City to New Orleans on November 23, 1963m are an example. It isn't clear why the DFS connected these with the assassination. Moreover, the names of the passengers are deleted in the John Kennedy file but not in the Silvia Duran file. However, maybe crowdsourcing the documents can produce answers.
A Spanish-speaker has furnished this description of the John Kennedy file:
1. There is no analysis. It's mostly memorandums of interviews of people of interest to the authorities on November 23rd, a few before that day and some after.
2. Memos have many illegible pages, but specially the November 23rd ones read like a ‘round-up the usual suspects’, ask them a set of 39 questions (‘you and who else killed Kennedy, how much were you paid? etc.), and release them with thanks for their time.
3. There are also bus travel manifestos, including the Oswald October 2nd return.
4. There is the 40 page long hand written account of the ‘Protection of the President of the US’ going back to the XIX century which is in the Lee Oswald file that Gus Russo obtained and made public.
5. The files begins with a table with justifications for deletions, and finishes with news paper clips of President Kennedy’s life and obituaries.
Note. The faint typing on many of the documents makes it impossible to use Google Translate for translating the documents. But if you find something of interest, please let me know by commenting.
