[77]. REPORT OF FINDINGS
[79](DEVELOPED CHARACTER REFERENCE) On 13 November 1968, Nick
[80]Traficenti, Tabulating Machine Operator, Mutual Insurance Advisory
[81]Association (MIAA), 733 Third Avenue, New, York, New York 10017, who resides
[82]at 565 East 181st Street, Bronx, New York 10457, was interviewed at his place
[83]of employment concerning Manuel MARTI. Source who has known SUBJECT since
[84]March 1967 stated substantially as follows:
[86]Source first met SUBJECT in March 1967 when he was employed by
[87]MIAA and was assigned to the same section as SUBJECT in the Data Control
[88]Section. Source was introduced to the personnel within the section and
[89]coached in his duties by SUBJECT, and as a result he became quite friendly
[90]with MARTI. Source had daily contact with SUBJECT at work, but they never
[91]had occasion to associate outside of their working environment. Source last
[92]saw SUBJECT in May 1968 when HE left MIAA to enter active military service.
[94]Although SUBJECT is of Puerto Rican decent, Source was not aware
[95]of HIS birthplace. HE was single and lived with HIS father, Manuel Marti,
[96]in Bronx, New York, further details unknown. HIS mother, name unknown, had
[97]died of cancer shortly before HE and Source met. SUBJECT was a graduate of
[98]Evander Charles High School, Bronx, New York, and Source believed that HE
[99]was attending college at night during HIS employment at MIAA. SUBJECT has
[100]a younger sister and an elder brother, names unknown. HIS brother was in the
[101]United States military service during SUBJECT'S employment at MIAA, and since
[102]SUBJECT was reportedly the main support of HIS family HE was given a [deferment ‘
[103]from military service until HIS brother was released. Source had no further
[104]knowledge of SUBJECT'S personal background.
[106]MARTI is a highly intelligent, conscientious and dependable
[107]individual. -HE was assigned as a Tabulating Machine Operator at MIAA and
[108]seemed to have a keen interest in HIS work and was always seeking ways to
[109]improve HIMSELF on the job. Source believed that MIAA was HIS first employ-
[110]ment. SUBJECT was very highly regarded by all of HIS associates at MIAA,
[111]and HE was greatly missed on the job.. HE is friendly, honest, trustworthy,
[112]mature, emotionally stable and of good moral character. SUBJECT was not
[113]known to have any difficulty with creditors or law enforcement agencies,
[114]and HE demonstrated no habits of an anti-social nature during the period
[115]of association. Source had no knowledge of SUBJECT'S organizational affilia-
[116]tions or foreign travels. SUBJECT never engaged in political discussions,
[117]and HE never made any radical statements concerning the United States govern-
[118]ment. Source considers MARTI to be a loyal United States citizen who is
[119]dedicated to the preservation of our democratic form of government. He knew
[120]of no one other than co-workers who are knowledgeable of SUBJECT.
