RESEARCH QUERY FOLLOW-UPS FROM JOHN KLEEBERG

John Kleeberg writes: "About two months ago you forwarded an inquiry
I had to Dave Ginsburg.  I just want to tell you that I got some
marvelous data from him in response, and also from Len Augsburger.
Their responses came very promptly, in only a week - I've just taken
my own time telling you about it.

"I have also had some very good data sent me from Howard A. Daniel
III and Merle Pribbenow - I inquired about a hoard of US currency
($50s) discovered in the Vinh Thanh Mountains of Vietnam in July
1968 by a platoon, and Pribbenow sent me some translations of
terrific articles from the Vietnamese press, discussing how US
currency was smuggled by the Vietcong into the south in order to
buy weapons and other war materiel.  The Vietcong used some South
Vietnamese currency, but normally avoided it, preferring US currency
- they didn't trust the stability of the South Vietnamese government
and its currency."
