On 12/10/71 I called SA HENRY SHUTZ at the Bureau.
I told him we were contacting a number of daily newspapers, urging them as a public service to publish serial numbers of the bills taken in this case. I suggested that as an economic matter it might be more desirable to have the Bureau prepare a mat containing these numbers, which could be distributed to newspapers and used by them as a means of printing and thereby, hopefully, be able to encourage more to print the list.
I talked to SA BLAND about this matter and he advised that it would have to be initiated by the investiga- tive division.
SA SHUTZ called me back on 12/10/71 and advised they were exploring the possible costs of this matter and would let us know Monday.
In the meantime I had talked to [REDACTED] of the SEATTLE P-I, and to [REDACTED] of the SEATTLE TIMES, inquiring of them if as a public service would they be interested in publishing the list. Both advised it would be considered and they would let us know.
