What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Re memo of SA [REDACTED] 5/14/76.
On 6/8/76, [REDACTED] "Bremerton Sun", was advised of the plan, now being contemplated, to offer a reward for any of the bait money turned in in con- nection with this matter.
[REDACTED] stated that that newspaper would be happy to cooperate in the plan should it materialize and he raised the question of how many bait bill numbers would have to be published. He explained it would be very tedious, cumber- some and expensive to print and publish the list of bait bills if it was an extensive list. He explained that the paper has an offset printing press and that if the FBI could furnish an offset proof publishing the list of serial numbers would be simple and involve little or no expense to the newspaper.
He reiterated that his paper would be happy to cooperate in the plan if and when it materializes.

RECOMMENDATION
If the plan as set out in re memo is initiated, it is recommended that "offset proofs", be prepared in advance to facilitate publication of the bait bills.
It is noted that the "Bremerton Sun" is the leading newspaper on the Olympic Peninsula and covers all of Kitsap and Jefferson Counties.
