Confusing 11-19-63 FBI Memo - 11-19-63 Sac, WMFO to Dir, FBI 105-82555-78

Cameras failed, backup cameras failed and, at least at the Soviet Embassy entrance, the backup backup camera failed.

Yeah I somehow SO doubt that.

And it surely embarrassed the CIA.

And i somehow doubt this as well.
In light of everything else, one can only view this "embarrassment" as cover for illicit activity.
Or do you mean they were embarrassed by what was clearly a ruse on their behalf?
Sort of like the husband who is "sorry" when he is caught cheating.

And thank you both, Jim and Tracy, for your on topic replies to my post.
Exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Given that the records are so spread out, and citations are often few, it is hard to know when what you are reading is factual or not, and it is nice to have members reply on topics they may feel are old-hat, if only to give a new member some ground to work from.
