Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigative activities related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on forensic analysis of physical evidence recovered from a 1966 Ford Mustang (SN 67/07/1904) linked to the event. Items submitted for examination include floor mats, wheel jacks, clothing (e.g., a white Jockey T-shirt and checked print undershorts), and laundry tags. The FBI requested comparison of handwriting samples from GINGER NANCE and ANTA KAWKINZIKINZI with markings found on the Mustang’s interior. Thermo-Seal machine markings from various locations, including Mississippi and Georgia, were analyzed to trace potential connections to the assassination. A change of address order signed by ERIC S. GAITH (linked to Hotel St. Francis in Los Angeles) was submitted for signature comparison. The FBI also sought analysis of laundry tags found on clothing associated with "BARN LUTHER KING" (likely a reference to MLK), and requested destruction of evidence deemed irrelevant.  

The documents further reference latent fingerprint analysis of letters addressed to "TRIC GALF" and signed by "DALE L. DIEHMA," with no match found in existing records. The FBI requested comparisons with known prints of Dale L. Diehman (Grand Rapids, Michigan) and others, including Samuel William North Jr., G. S. G. J. Mockhead, and Robert Rosand. Lab reports from Atlanta, Birmingham, Buffalo, and Memphis are referenced, detailing examinations of envelopes and letters. Case numbers such as FBI File No. D-560449 JK and lab identifiers like "REC-69" are noted. The release of information under Executive Order 14176 is also mentioned.
