Summary:  
The text contains fragmented FBI records dated May 19, 1968, referencing an investigation involving an individual named Billings. Billings is noted to have stayed at Canal Bank Inn in New Orleans during 1965 and again in the early 1960s. He was associated with Norris Clindud (possibly a misspelling or variant of "Clint" or another name) and had financial disputes, including issuing bad checks for poker debts. Billings' second stay at Canal Bank Inn coincided with an encounter involving Barber, who accompanied him to Guy's International Bar in New Orleans. The text mentions a potential connection to a machine gun contact, though details are incomplete. It also references Billings' past mental health history and notes that offices should consider this when verifying his ties to Noble Drilling Co. in 1965.
