was consulted and officers under
him were detailed to the inquiry.
It appeared that the Embassy
was OBTAINING some prominent
Americans who were carrying
seemingly perfect forgeries of
dollar bills. Only the serial
number was wrong, otherwise
they were perfect.
The American visitors said
they received the notes from a
bank in New York, which was
just as respectable as the visitors.
The dollar bills were flown to
New York for expert State De-
partment and FBI examination.
Then it was found that the
notes were genuine and orders
were given that they were to be
honored.
1t was learned that there had
been a similar scare elsewhere in
Europe and again the Embassy
had been the last to be informed
of the change.
