OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.6 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P) DATE: 6/1/76

FROM : SA THOMAS J. MANNING

SUBJECT: NORJAK

Re memo of SA [REDACTED] 5/14/76

---

Contact made with [REDACTED] Longview Daily News largest newspaper (circulation 26,000) in Longview RA territory on 5/27/76.

[REDACTED] stated while his paper was willing to cooperate in the venture of publishing serial numbers of NORJAK bills he felt the cost was prohibitive since such a publication would probably take a full page in the newspaper. However he stated that when and if definite plans are made by the FBI re the publication his paper would consider putting in the numbers on a one time basis.

He made available to the writer a paste up sheet which is what is used to set stories, articles etc. in the paper and said this could possibly assist the Bureau in determining size of a page and content.

One other newspaper in PA territory is Daily Chronicle, Centralia, Washington and they stated they also would have to have more information on format, size of item to be published etc. before definite answer could be given.

It is suggested that the paste up sheet be used for placing therein the serial numbers which could then be made available to RAs for further contacts with newspapers, magazines etc..

The writer received the distinct impression in aabove newspaper contacts that papers, looking at the loss of possibly one or two pages for publication of the numbers would re t eticent to publish same.
