MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Check Stolen from the Mails -
1. Per John Warner's request the undersigned con-
tacted Mr. T. O. Lawrence, Postal Inspector, United States
Postal Service (Code 184-5551), and Mr. George Huffman,
Forgery Section, Secret Service, U. S. Treasury Department
(634-5100), on subject case. I explained to both of these
gentlemen that the Agency had some concern about the case
being prosecuted because of certain security matters in-
volved. Upon discussion, it was learned that the accused
allegedly stole and uttered five checks--each check carrying
with it two felony counts with maximum sentences of ten years
each. Mr. Huffman took my request under advisement and
called back this date to say that the presentation to the grand
jury will not, repeat, not include the check belonging to
Agency employee,
2. I thanked him for his consideration and assistance.
