Summary  
The documents detail intelligence and investigative records involving Herbert Itkin, a New York attorney with FBI informant status, and his associations with Haitian exiles, Salvadoran economists, and U.S. government networks. Itkin’s passport history (B122634 issued 14 January 1961, renewed 15 January 1966) and travel to the UK via BOAC flight 506 in 1966 are noted. Classified communications reference his FBI informant status since March 1963, with claims of working for the agency between 1944–1954. Itkin is linked to Haitian anti-Duvalier operations, Cuban exile groups, and financial dealings in San Salvador and Haiti. Luis Gutierrez, a Salvadoran economist, is mentioned as a subject of interview requests regarding Itkin’s alleged ties to U.S. agencies and informants. Philip Harbin is identified as an alleged U.S. government informant contact. The documents also reference Robert Legers, a Haitian communist associated with anti-Duvalier activities, and Louis Dejoie, a former Haitian senator linked to exile networks. U.S. intelligence agencies (FBI, LNERGO) monitored these individuals and their potential coordination with Cuban exiles for actions against Duvalier. A fragmented administrative form with illegible content is noted but contains no substantive information about JFK or the assassination.
