Honorable Sir:

Shortly after 6:30 P.M. on April 10 I placed a
long distance call to the Regional Office of the
F.B.I. in Portland. The call was answered by a [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] who turned the call over to a [REDACTED] after
I had stated my reasons for placing the call.
Briefly, [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] on the Oregon Coast I recently (Mar 23).
[REDACTED] to a certain party and
this subsequent actions have raised doubts in my
mind.
(1). He carried on his person a large sum of
money-all in $2000 bills.
(2). Each time he made a purchase - no matter
how small-such as 2 packages of cigarettes (70¢) it
was with a $20°° bill and he never spent the change
or smaller bills. Each purchase was paid with a "new"
$20°° bill and the pattern was repeated again.
(3) He did not want to be alone and, if he
could, would get me or someone else to make his
purchases with one of his $20°° bills.
