[REDACTED] pointed out that the daily sales reports for the week of November 22-26, 1971, disclose that LANGSETH made contacts in Colorado Springs, Col., the entire week and only two sales were made during the entire week, one sale each on Monday and Tuesday and no sales for Wednesday, or Friday. [REDACTED] further pointed out a notation on the sales report for November 26, "8 demonstrations, each day will produce success," which is an indication LANGSETH was not making sufficient sales as indicated by the number of contacts on the sales reports. [REDACTED] opined that the daily sales reports could be "easily faked." [REDACTED] further pointed out that there is normally a five-day differential in the date of the daily sales report and the day it is received at the office in Irwin, Pa., however, the daily sales report for November 24, 1971, was received at the local office on December 2, 1971.

[REDACTED] said that LANGSETH resigned for personal reasons, however, any additional information could be obtained from [REDACTED] in Scottdale, Ariz.
