Per CI/Liaison routing logs, Roman reads an FBI report describing Oswald's September 1963 Fair Play for Cuba Committee activities in New Orleans. She signs the HQ cable to Mexico City six days later; that cable does not reference the FBI report.
The CIA headquarters cable responding to the Mexico City station's report on Oswald's Cuban and Soviet embassy visits is dispatched over Roman's signature. The cable states the agency had last reported on Oswald in May 1962. Several FBI reports on his September 1963 New Orleans activities had been routed through CIA in the intervening weeks and are not referenced in the cable. Not fully declassified until 2002.
