[REDACTED] Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 18, 1972, located a carbon copy and two carbons utilized in the preparation of a sales invoice number 764637 for the purchase of 5.6 gallons on gasoline with total charges of $2.57.
This invoice was charged to RICHARD F. MC COY, JR., Bank Americard Number 4763 160 217 773 and bore the signa- ture of MC COY.
The invoice carried the machine date of November 25, 1972, but had the written date of November 26, 1971. The license number listed on the carbon copy of the invoice appeared to be SA 1334 and the carbon utilized for the preparation of these invoices had the additional notations "No. Carol", however the above writing was not readily discernible on the written carbon copy of the invoice.

[REDACTED] explained that the discrepancy of the dates could be explained by virtue of the fact that his station operated on a 24 hour basis with shifts running from 7:00am to 3:00pm, from 3:00pm to 11:00pm and from 11:00pm to 7:00am. He stated that in view of the fact November 25, 1971, was a holiday, he did not personally work that day and as a result, the machine date of November 25, would not have been changed to November 27, 1971, until 9:[guess: 00]m on November 26, when he visited the station to correlate the receipts for the holiday.

[REDACTED] further noted that in all possibility, the employee handling the actual transaction was on duty from 11:00pm, November 25, to 7:00am, November 26, and therefore entered the date as November 26, which would have been his regular work day and the machine date would not have been changed until his appearance later as noted above."

residence at [REDACTED] Las Vegas, Nevada, would have worked the 11:00pm to 7:00am shift commencing at 11:00pm on November 25, and in all probability handled the transaction although his initials are not contained on the sales invoice as is the customary procedure for most employees.

[REDACTED] noted further that in view of their location as the last station prior to the southbound entry onto Interstate 15 or conversely the first station for anyone approaching Las Vegas on the freeway from the south, their business is evenly divided between traffic heading for Los Angeles who wish to gas up prior to their entry into the desert or are the initial contact for vehicles coming into from the desert area who are nearly out of gasoline.

[REDACTED] noted that three copies of the Bank Americard invoice would have been prepared with the original copy being furnished to MC COY at the time of the purchase, a second copy being retained by him and the final copy going to Bank Americard Company for charges to be paid at a later date. [REDACTED] placed his name and date on the reverse side of the carbon copy and furnished this invoice and the two carbons in the preparation of the entire transaction to the FBI on April 18, 1972.
