Summary  
The document is an internal law enforcement memorandum dated April 15, 1968, detailing an investigation into a suspect named **Eric Starvo Galt**. The case involves tracking Galt through logistical and forensic methods, including analysis of laundry tapes from defective textile marking machines, vehicle registration details (a white 1966 Mustang with Alabama license plate 1-38993), and cross-referencing financial records across multiple jurisdictions. The investigation emphasizes operational secrecy to avoid alerting the suspect. While not explicitly tied to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, the case is contextualized within broader FBI surveillance activities during the civil rights era, with references to locations such as Memphis, Tennessee, and other Southern cities.

- Coordination between FBI agents and local agencies to verify attendance at dancing schools in Birmingham, New Orleans, and Long Beach.  
- Emphasis on maintaining operational secrecy to prevent public disclosure of the investigation.
