Enclosed for the Laboratory are two rolls of microfilm containing serial numbers of bills to be compared to microfilm already on hand in order to determine exact serial numbers of bills given to hijacker.

Microfilm already submitted represents $230,000.00 of which $200,000.00 given to hijacker. New film currently being submitted contains serial numbers of six lots of bills, each containing $50,000.00 totaling $300,000.00. Film 1 contains lots 1 through 5; film 2 contains only lot 6. The $30,000.00 of the original microfilm which was not given to the hijacker is contained either at the end of lot 5 or at the end of lot 6.

The $20 bills in question in lot 5 begin with the serial number L34346374A and end with serial number E50344506A. The $20 bills in question in lot 6 begin with the serial number L18031099B and end with the serial number L09729057B on the microfilm.
