Remarks: The hairs on specimen Q2 have been mounted on a glass microscope slide. Should you desire future microscopic comparisons between the head hair clipping and a known head hair sample, resubmit the glass microscope slide containing the hair clipping so that direct microscopic comparisons may be made.

You are being advised of the result of the fingerprint examination and the disposition of Q1 and the "Also Submitted" items by a separate report.

Specimen Q2 is being returned as an enclosure to this report.

To: SAC, Las Vegas Date: December 9, 1971 FBI File No. 164-2111 Re: "NORJAK" Lab. No. PC-H3225 MC

Result of examination:

Specimen Q1 contains eight cigarette butts. Seven of these are Raleigh 85mm filter-tipped cigarette butts. The eighth cigarette butt has the same design and composition as Raleigh 85mm cigarettes and, accordingly, is probably a Raleigh 85mm cigarette. This type of cigarette is sold in a "soft pack."

A brown head hair clipping and a brown limb hair both of Caucasian origin were found on Q2. The head hair clipping is suitable for significant comparison results; however, the limb hair possesses too few unique microscopic characteristics to be of value for this purpose.

Foreign textile fibers of various types and colors removed from Q2 have been placed in a pillbox.
