Since this copy of the report didn't include the admin page(s), I can't identify MM T-1 further.
Note: The "cover sheet" mentioned in the RIF is actually the first page of a draft HSCA staff report on the Pontchartrain incident with a focus on the allegations that David Ferrie was involved in training Cubans. This is why Ferrie is mentioned in the subjects section; he's NOT mentioned in the FBI report. The draft page mentions HSCA interviews and depositions with some of the participants.
