On 4/26/72 I called SA REX SHRODER at the Bureau.
I told him we had some representatives of the Secret Service look at the Xerox copies of the bills purported to be in [REDACTED] possession.
I advised him that according to the Secret Service representatives there is always a capitalized letter and a small number on the upper left-hand corner of each bill. The same capitalized letter with the same or a different number appears in the lower right-hand corner of the bill.
On Bill No. 1 the number and letter in the upper left corner, according to the Xerox, is C 4. The microfilm of this same bill, however, shows the letter in the lower right corner of that same bill to be H, the letter being obscured. According to the Secret Service, both of these letters should be the same and clearly they are not.
With Bill No. 2, according to the Xerox the letter in the upper left corner is E 2, whereas the microfilm is rather unclear but there appears to be an F in the lower right corner.
He advised that the Bureau of engraving has looked at the bills and think that one of the digits in the serial number of bill No. 1 is off.
I told him we were endeavoring to locate the third bill and would let him know when done. In the meantime we were trying to get a clear look at Bill No. 2.
