Summary:  
The documents consist of multiple FBI internal reports and administrative records related to cost tracking for an investigation referred to as "MURKIN." These records detail man-hours spent by Special Agents and clerical staff, vehicle mileage, and unusual expenses incurred during the investigation. The Los Angeles Division compiled data through specific dates (e.g., April 30, 1968; May 31, 1968) and submitted it to the Memphis Division for cost tracking. Reports include breakdowns of regular and overtime hours, total mileage traveled by vehicles, and costs for supplies like photography materials, xeroxing, and mimeograph paper. The Memphis Division requested cumulative monthly data submissions until further notice, with some records indicating a later discontinuation of such reporting.
