Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file, dated April 1963, contains financial and travel records for Project MOSES, run by CIA General Counsel Lawrence R. Houston. It includes requests for advances of funds for a Project MOSES agent, along with domestic travel vouchers for trips from Washington, D.C. to New York City, West Palm Beach and Miami in March and April 1963. The records cover airfare for Houston and two agents, per diem and operational expenses. Receipts for the operational expenses were not obtained, for security reasons.
