Dear Sir:

The United States Secret Service has inaugurated a nation-wide
educational campaign for the purpose of instructing the public in the detection
of counterfeit currency. To accomplish this purpose, the United States Secret
Service, in cooperation with local and State police organizations, has produced
a sound motion picture based on the subject of "KNOW YOUR MONHY", which will be
exhibited to any group throughout the nation without charge.

Since your organization is scheduled to hold its convention here in
Kansas City @noMarch 30, we would appreciate the opportunity of showing our
"KNOW YOUR MONEY" film to the assembled group, at your convenience. The film
is about 20 minutes long. An agent of this Service will be present with a local
police officer, and after the film is shown, will devote as much time as you can
spare to answering any questions regarding the work of this Service or on detect-
ion of counterfeits. He will also exhibit specimens of counterfeit money to the
group, and each person will be supplied with a "Know Your Money" pamphlet which
outlines the proper procedure to be followed by any individual when a counterfeit
is received,

If a place can be found on your program, we shall be very glad to
present our picture and in addition have one of our men devote as much more
time as you can spare to the discussion. We realize that this is rather short
notice, and if your program is too full, perhaps you would be willing to sched-
ule us for a place on your next year's convention program.

We shall be pleased to hear from you at an early date,

Yours very truly,

Supervising Agent
