[REDACTED] April 12, 1972
J. Edgar Hoover, Director F.B.I. Washington, D.C.
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 $2000 bill and he never spent the change or smaller bills. Each purchase was paid with a "new" $2000 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 $20.00 bills.
