DO NOT INCLUDE ADMINISTRATIVE PAGES INFORMATION IN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

Remarks:

Q1 through Q4 will be returned with the fingerprint report.

Sacramento is referred to Las Vegas teletype to the Bureau, dated 11/30/71, requesting photographs of Q1 and Q2 for CII, Sacramento. These photographs are enclosed for Sacramento and are to be delivered to [REDACTED] Supervisory Special Agent, CII, for comparison with the Zodiac case. The hand printing on Q1 is disguised and nothing of significance was noted in the comparison with the questioned hand printing in the case "Zodiac; Extortion, OO: Sacramento," Sacramento file 9-68, Bureau file 9-49911. No connection could be established by the Laboratory between Q1 and Q2 in captioned case and the Zodiac case.
