Results of Examination:

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This report supplements the report previously furnished under this caption dated February 19, 1996 (60218031 S/D ZW UI).

PHOTOGRAPHS:

You have previously been provided with copies of photographs which depict a portion of the submitted specimens.

FINGERPRINTS:

You will be separately advised concerning the results of the latent fingerprint examination.

DOCUMENTS:

The K389 through K391 typewriting did not originate from the same sources as typewriting attributable to the UNABOMBER.

Due to the nature of the writing, possibly deliberately distorted, previously submitted on specimens attributable to the UNABOMBER and the lack of comparability, it could not be determined whether the K389 through K433 writer(s) prepared any of the questioned writing in this matter.

Specimens K389 through K433 contain no indented writing of value. In addition, specimens Q736 through Q748, previously received from the same source as K389 through K433, contain no indented writing of value.

The U.S. "G" postal stamp submitted with device #16, The Gelernter letter, the Roberts letter, the Sharp letter, the Times letter, the San Francisco cronicle letter, the New York Times manifest, the Washington Post manifest, the Penthouse manifest and the Berkeley manifest U.S. "G" postal stamps originated from booklets of stamps. The "G" Old Glory stamps are issued with the "G" printed in three different colors, black, red and blue. The stamps attached to specimens attributable to the UNABOMBER have the "G" in black. The K419 and K420 U.S. "G" postal stamps have the "G" in red.

Specimens K389 through K433 have been photographed.

DNA ANALYSIS:

DNA analyses of the DQ alpha (DQA1) and the Polymarker (PM) loci were conducted on the specimens listed below. The results of these analyses are as follows:

The DNA DQ alpha and PM typing results for specimens K408 (envelope flap) and K419 (stamp) indicate the presence of DNA from more than one individual. Because of these mixtures, no conclusive DNA results were obtained for these specimens, however; the major type present is consistent with the type shown above.

Insufficient DNA was obtained from specimens K414 (stamp), K425 (envelope flap), K427 (stamp), K427 (envelope flap), K432 (stamp) and K432 (envelope flap).

HAIR AND FIBERS:

No human hairs of value for meaningful comparison purposes were found on specimens K389 through K433. Cat hairs were removed and mounted on glass microscope slides for possible future comparisons.

Textile fibers of different types and colors were found on the above-mentioned specimens. The fibers recovered from Device #16 (FBI Laboratory 50427001) and from previously submitted manuscripts were compared to these fibers and no common fibers were found.

DISPOSITION OF SPECIMENS:

The submitted specimens are being retained in the Laboratory.

Please call the Explosives Unit - Bomb Data Center, (202) 324-2696, if you have any questions concerning the results of examinations in this case.
