Dear Dr. Marrs:
Mr. Joel Clark from the Grand Rapids Press asked me to write con-
cerning a young Finnish girl, Pia Lindroos, who is currently a student
in Grand Rapids.
She has been accepted into the Up With People educational program
for this year. I understand there is some problem regarding her immi-
gration status. This information, I believe, is being supplied to you
from Grand Rapids.
This is to verify that she will be under the sponsorship of Up
With People during this coming academic year.
We will be participating in many of the Bicentennial events across
America and believe that any foreign students would make a significant
contribution to the celebrations of America's 200th Anniversary.

RE: The Mitre Corporation
Recommended Entry
Document System
Dear Mr. Muchow:
We have developed a truly counterfeit-proof entry
document which does not have to be individually examined by
Immigration Inspectors. Additional Inspectors, as requested
by INS, are not needed with our system since each person ad-
mits himself through the Ports of Entry. For a matter of
fact, the present number of these INS employees can probably
be reduced. Where automobiles are used, an open car window
will suffice.
We have accomplished the above important develop-
ment by steel engraving BOTH sides of the thermoplastic covers
in extremely intricate multi-colored designs in perfect registra-
tion with each other (PATENTS PENDING). At least 5 separate
engraving plates, one for each color and design, are used on
each side of the thermoplastic. After lamination, the document
has the unique visual appearance of being three-dimensional,
since the designs on the "back" have depth (the .10" thickness
of the thermoplastic) whereas the designs on the "front" do not.
Even if a person could be found with the necessary skill to be
a counterfeiting steel engraver, he would be unable to dupli-
cate the "back" designs since they are 60% covered by the "front"
designs. There is absolutely no way to tell, after lamination,
what the "back" copy or formats are. The only thing the counter-
feiter would have to go by is the third-dimensional appearance
which is impossible to engrave because of the depth and blending
of the two sets of designs.

The document's third-dimensional designs are
read instantly, at the speed of light, by an inexpensive
holographic optical spatial filtering device which compares
and matches the document being used with a genuine document
permanently fixed in position within the holographic "read-
ing device" (PATENT PENDING). No complicated electronics
and expensive sophisticated computers. Only a $200.00 gas-
laser, a prism, lenses, mirrors, grids, grating deffractors
and a small photoelectronic diode. A very rapid, inexpensive,
reliable confirmation device. Each document has a magnetic
tempered steel core for durability and magnetic coding or
re-coding if the situation pertaining to the bearer changes.
The holographic "reading device" has a built-in mini-computer
to act as the "look-out-book". It also has a digital printer
which delivers a tape recording of all of the facts about
each admittance which can be sent to a central point by mail
for a matter of record. There are means to match the bearer's
fingerprint on the document placed there at the time of issue
with the bearer's finger at the time of admittance to assure
that he is the person to whom the document was originally
issued.
We hope that you find the above description of
our device interesting. If there are any questions, please
get in touch.

RE: The Mitre Corporation
Recommended Entry
Document System
Dear Mr. Percell:
May we respectfully suggest that a thorough cost
analysis be made of the above Mitre plan to determine the
actual cost of the program over a 5-year period. The items
to be examined are as follows:
A. The cost of the digitizing computers with
which to convert the bearer's signature
and fingerprint on Visa Cards issued by
the State Department (3,000,000 yearly),
INS Resident Alien Cards and INS Border
Crossing Cards into encryptive codes as
explained by Mr. Scott on page 946 of
Part 2, Department of Justice, House Ap-
propriations hearings. Over 250 such com-
puters will be required at U.S. Consulates
worldwide to issue Visas. Incidentally,
this is the first step toward standardiza-
tion of Entry documents.
B. The cost of placing the above encryptive
codes and other data on the documents
including the lamination.

Mr. James Percell

Page Two
C. The man-hours cost for additional INS
Inspectors at the 1,000-1,200 passage-
ways to examine each document, the
fingers of each applicant for phony
fingerprints and the inserting of the
documents into the slot of the "reading
device." Please see Mr. Scott's testi-
mony page 950 of Part 2, House Appropria-
tions hearings.
D. The price of 1,200 "reading devices" at
each passageway.
E. The cost of a centralized computer, and a.
stand-by, plus the cost of approximately
200,000 miles of cable to hook-up the above
computer to all of the 400 Ports of Entry,
or perhaps to each of the 1,200 passageways.
Much of this cable will have to be the
very expensive coaxial type to handle the
heavy load during peak rush periods at a
great many of the Ports of Entry. The
testimony of Mr. Scott, page 949, Part 2
of the House Appropriations hearings, re-
veals that the encryptive code will be "read"
at each passageway when the bearer applies
for admittance. There is no explanation how
the plan will handle a case when an illegal
alien shows up with a document which has the
original encryptive code thereon but also
has the photograph of the illegal alien, the
illegal alien's fingerprint and the signature
of the original bearer written by the illegal
alien in his handwriting style. The illegal
alien will, of course, be fully briefed on
the biographical information pertaining to
the original bearer so that he can answer
any questions. Furthermore, other illegal
aliens can use the same encryptive code at
all of the rest of the 399 Ports of Entry.
Obviously, the encryptive code will have to
be programed into a centralized computer so
that it can be used only once at any Port of
Entry by the authorized bearer and de-programed
when the bearer leaves the United States at any
Port of Entry. This would be of considerable
advantage to INS regarding foreign visitors
with their visa cards. We question the ability
Mr. James Percell
July 11, 1975
Page Three
of a centralized computer to handle the
48 digit encryptive code of 270,000,000
admittances and 270,000,000 departures each
year in less than 5 to 7 minutes each, es-
pecially during peak rush periods. The in-
evitable delays at Ports of Entry will not
be tolerated. The huge cost of such a
sophisticated system certainly should be
carefully examined. Incidentally, any
gimmick which might be added to the document
to prevent counterfeiting can be compromised,
no matter what. Please note Commissioner
Greene's testimony on page 950, Part 2 of
the House Appropriations Hearings which
revealed that 17 different gimmicks have
been added to the present INS documents.
At the present time, these documents are
widely counterfeited.
F. The total man-hours cost, materials, and
equipment amortization cost to issue the
three types of documents (a total of
4,000,000 yearly) and the replacement of
all of the old documents which exist at this
time. In other words, what will each new
document cost by the time it is handed to
the bearer.

Dear Mr. Commissioner;
In answer to yours of June 18 regarding counterfeiting I am
sure that you know as well as I do that unless all Ports of
Entry are connected to a centralized computer the Mitre plan
is a waste of the tax payers's money.
The counterfeiting gang with $5 million dollars to work with,
received from only 10,000 illegal aliens at $500 each, know
very well that if the connecting wires are cut your activity
is "out-of-business".
Whats to keep the wires from being cut? Can you guarantee
the tax payer they will not be?
Sincerely
WHITEHEAD & CO.

Dear Mrs. Baliantz:
This is to acknowledge and thank you for your
letter of June 19, again calling to my atten-
tion the situation of Mr. Rudolf Nureyev's
family. I have looked into this again and find
that the appropriate people in the State Depart-
ment are conscious of the problem. I am assured
that it will continue to receive their serious
attention.
M share your concern about the separation of
the Nureyev family, and regret that at this time
I am unable to give you encouraging news. I
can only suggest that they persist in their
petitions to the Soviet Embassy.
with best wishes,

GERALD R. FORE
Dear Mr. Baroody
This is a status report on the efforts of Mr. Rudolf Nureyev to
have his mother, sister and niece visit him in the United States.
As the attached copies demonstrate, Mr. Nureyev filed with the
Embassy of the USSR two petitions, one for his mother and the second
for his sister and niece. After lengthy deliberation, the Soviet
Embassy refused to approve the petitions.
As you are well aware, this matter was brought to your attention
in January 1975, when Mr. Nureyev wrote a letter to President Ford
requesting his assistance. Your office was kind enough to set up
appointments with appropriate officials at our State Department, for
me and Mr. Vartkes Yeghiayan, our attorney.
As a result of the meetings we had with the State Department and
at the request of the Consular Section of the Soviet Embassy, Mr.
Nureyev wrote a letter to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, requesting
a visa for his family.
The Soviet Embassy responded by requiring the filing of formal
petitions. These petitions were filed which, as indicated above were
rejected.
It is two years now that at the request of Mr. Nureyev, I have
been trying my utmost to assist his family. I filed petitions, as a
United States citizen to have the Nureyev family visit me. I had no
response from the Soviet Embassy. I even traveled to the Soviet Union
to talk to Mrs. Nureyeva to see what I could do to assist her in
obtaining an exit visa, but to no avail.
"WIB has seen"
DR. MARRS HAS SEEN
I am sure, Mr. Baroody, you can appreciate that with the rejection
of Mr. Nureyev's petitions by the Soviet Embassy in Washington, we have
no other alternatives left but to turn to you and President Ford for
assistance.
I have attached a number of pertinent documents to acquaint and
assist you in your efforts to try and resolve this matter.
Mr. Nureyev is deeply appreciative of the President's concern
and offer of assistance. The continued separation of the Nureyev
family is not only a personal matter for the parties involved, but
one which saddens the many persons closely acquainted with Mr. Nureyev.
I am ever so grateful for your concern and your sincere desire
to be of help to us.
ADay Sincerely Yours
Armen Baliantz

Dear Dr. Marrs:
There is a vast difference between the fingerprint
verification technique we have developed and the one proposed
by Mitre.
Our concept of comparing fingerprints by holographic
spatial filtering requires that the finger be "rolled" on a prism
to obtain an accurate match between the fingerprint on the entry
document and the pattern on the finger. The underside of the
finger is exposed by this movement and allows an instantaneous
and automatic examination of this area by various means (patent
pending) to determine if a counterfeit rubber or plastic finger-
print has been adhered to this surface of the finger. Obviously,
this invention makes possible for an authorized applicant to
quickly and most efficiently admit himself at a Port of Entry
and thereby save the taxpayer millions of dollars.
The Mitre system, as developed by NBS for the FBI,
is a computer controlled flying-spot scanning technique to digitize
the fingerprint pattern. This technique requires that a finger-
print on a fingerprint card or a finger on a prism be absolutely
motionless while the pattern is being scanned or "read". A counter-
feit fingerprint cemented to the underside of a finger placed on
the prism is therefore hidden from view and cannot be detected.
Consequently, if reliable and effective verification is to be ex-
pected, all ten fingers of every applicant applying for admittance,
particularly those in automobiles, must be carefully examined prior
to placing a finger on the prism. This examination will necessitate
that large numbers of additional INS Inspectors be employed, cost-
ing the taxpayer many unnecessary millions of dollars. Further-
more, such inspection will cause intolerable delays at the borders.
Enclosed herewith is a revised August summary of our
proposal.

Dear Mr. Commissioner:
In reply to yours of the 25th, I have been very busy
with my research and seeing that my developments are properly filed
at the Patent Office. The enclosed summary covers some of the
features.
Our concept of comparing fingerprints by holographic spatial
filtering requires that the finger be "rolled" on a prism to obtain
an accurate match between the fingerprint on the entry document and
the pattern on the finger. The underside of the finger is exposed
by this movement and allows an instantaneous and automatic examina-

a fingerprint card or a finger on a prism be absolutely motionless
while the pattern is being scanned or "read". A counterfeit finger-

therefore hidden from view and cannot be detected. Consequently, if
reliable and effective verification is to be expected, all ten fingers
of every applicant applying for admittance, particularly those in
automobiles, must be carefully examined prior to placing a finger on
the prism. This examination will necessitate that large numbers of
additional INS Inspectors be employed, costing the taxpayer many un-
necessary millions of dollars. Furthermore, such inspection will
cause intolerable delays at the borders.
I will call your Intelligence Office in the near future for
an appointment to discuss the matter.

Introduction
The field of coherent optics has produced techniques
whereby extremely complicated patterns can be recognized essen-
tially at the speed of light. Recognition is the process of
comparing two patterns and determining if matching or correla-
tion exists between the patterns. This is known as "holography"
from the Greek words "holos" meaning "total" and "graph" meaning
"picture." A hologram is a kind of picture which can produce an
image in three dimensions when it is illuminated with a laser
beam and hence contains information about the "total picture."
Three-D movies and stereo slides have been around for many
years and produce the illusion of three dimensions, but the holo-
graphic image is far more realistic because the image is not just
the illusion of three dimensions, but actually exists in three
dimensions. With the holographic image one can actually "look
around" objects to see what lies behind them just as one can move
his head to look around objects and see what lies behind them in
the real world. A very special hologram, called a spatial filter,
has the capability of comparing two patterns and producing a sig-
nal which is a function of the correlation or similarity of the
patterns. Experimentally, very intricate steel engravings proved
acceptable. However, it has been found that complicated, natural
objects with irregular patterns can be recognized with greater
confidence than can man-made objects which tend to be geometrically
symmetrical. Fingerprints, because of their randomness, are
ideal objects for the spatial filtering method of recognition.

A Counterfeit-proof Document
By using a Holographic Optical Filtering Recogni-
tion System we have developed, it is possible to very accurately
compare the fingerprint on a document put there at the time of
issue, with the fingerprint of the bearer at the time the docu-
ment is used, thereby, guaranteeing that the document can be
used ONLY by the person to whom it was originally issued. Below
we explain in detail how we have approached and accomplished
this very important security feature.
By using the same holographic system as above, it
can be assured that a counterfeit document will be rejected by
the reading device since ONLY a document with the correct third-
dimensional intricate steel engraving thereon will be acceptable.
The third-dimensional effect or appearance is accomplished by
steel engraving BOTH sides of the thermoplastic covers prior to
lamination (patents pending). For the best results, at least 5
intricate designs, each a different distinctive color, are ap-
plied to each side of the thermoplastic. The sum substance of
this is, of course, that the document will be truly counterfeit-
proof. Below`we shall explain how this is accomplished.
The need for a more reliable document which can be
read automatically at our Ports of Entry by a person admitting
himself is known by the Immigration Service. If this procedure
is adopted, huge sums of money can be saved and at the same time
a more dependable system put into use. Almost daily, the press
reports that drug smugglers and illegal aliens are the most im-
portant problems we have at this time. A reliable identification
system will greatly help remedy this situation.
Basic Concepts of the Spatial Filtering Technique
Since the spatial filtering process is relatively new,
it is perhaps easiest to explain the concept by noting that when
- 3 -
a beam of light passes through any semi-transparent object,
diffraction of the light takes place. Because of the wave
nature of light, when a beam of light is partly intercepted by
two materials of different optical density, or transmissivity,
part of the light is deviated from its original direction.
For example, as shown in Figure 1, suppose a beam of light is
passed through a periodic grating composed of alternate opaque
and transparent lines as shown in Figure la. Part of the light
passes directly through the grating and is focused by the lens
to form an image of the originating point source. This image
is called the zero order image because it is formed by light
rays which incurred no deviation from their original path by the
grating. But part of the original ight is deviated or diffracted
by the grating to various angles on each side of the undeviated
rays. The diffracted light forms an infinite number of images
of the originating point source on each side of the zero order
image. These higher order images are known as the 1st, 2nd,
etc., order images. If the illuminating source radiates white
light, each of the many colors will be deviated at a slightly
different angle and the images will appear as a rainbow or spec-
trum rather than as a simple point of white light.
Suppose instead of a white light source, a laser mono-
chromatic or single color source illuminates the same grating.
The images of the source will then be monochromatic and each
image will be the same size as the source as shown in Figure lb.
The diffraction orders will be equally spaced on both sides of
the zero order image and will extend infinitely in both directions,
but since each successively higher order is less intense by an
order of magnitude, only the first few orders can be seen. For
this reason, only the first few orders are illustrated in the
diagram.
- 4 -
The above method of diffraction produced images having
three unique characteristics which is called the "invariant
image." These characteristics are:
1. The grating can be moved laterally and
vertically in the light beam without
changing the position of the image.
2. The grating can be translated axially
in the beam without changing the size
or position of the images.
3. Since the images are really images of the
source, if the lens system is ideal, the
images should be exactly the same size
as the light source.
All patterns can be thought of as combinations of
straight and curved diffraction gratings. For example, the
letter "T" may be thought of as a slit (or single line grating)
in the vertical direction and a slit in the horizontal direction.
Similarly, a fingerprint may be thought of as a series of curved
gratings. The diffraction patterns characteristic of these
objects is shown in Figure 2.
A spatial filter can be thought of as the diffraction
pattern of an object recorded on black and white photographic
film. For example, to make a spatial filter for the letter "T",
the diffraction pattern characteristic of the letter "T" as shown
in Figure 3a is photographically recorded. The developed film
is the negative of the spatial filter that is desired, so it is
contact printed or otherwise reversed to obtain the positive
spatial filter as shown in Figure 3a.
It was mentioned earlier that the spatial filter is
merely a special variety of hologram and, as such, it is possible
to transform the spatial filter and to reconstruct the image of
the original object. Figure 3b illustrates the reconstruction of
the spatial filter to produce an image of the letter "T".
- 5 -
The main interest in spatial filtering is not that it
can reconstruct an image of the original object. The primary
application of the spatial filtering technique is that it can
be used to recognize patterns. The basic recognition process
is diagrammed in Figure 4. In this case, several different
letters are used as the object. The light diffracted by the
letters forms a pattern which is symmetrical about the zero
order image. Suppose the positive spatial filter for the letter
"T", which was constructed as described earlier, is placed in
the filter plane as shown. The "holes" or transparent parts
of the filter plane as shown. The "holes" or transparent parts
of the filter will transmit only the information for the letter
"T", with the diffraction information for the other letters being
blocked by the opaque part of the filter. The focusing lens
then reconstructs the diffraction image, but only where the light
is transmitted. As a result, two "Ts" appear in the recognition
plane in the same positions as they occupied in the original
object.
The Two-Beam Interferometric Process
The spatial filtering process described up to now in-
volves a transformation of the light transmitted by the object
during the construction of the spatial filter and, during recog-
nition, a subsequent transformation of the light transmitted by
the filter. While the net result has a component which recon-
structs images of the patterns which are recognized, several other
components are also present. These unwanted components produce
ghost images which are superimposed on the desired recognition
images. Under special conditions, those unwanted image components
can be minimized using this single beam spatial filtering approach,
- 6 -
but in most cases they cause the desired image to become unin-
telligible by reducing the contrast of the image and by filling
the recognition plane with spurious light.
The problem of these interacting images would be
solved if a method were discovered which would physically separate
the desired and undesired images. This is exactly what is done.
The diffracted light leaving the object during the construction
of the spatial filter contains both phase and amplitude informa-
tion. That is, the light wavefront varies in intensity as well
as in direction of propagation. Photographic materials can
record only the amplitude information or differences in intensity
and therefore all the information about the direction of propa-
gation is lost using the single beam technique. This is the
reason for the overlapping images in the recognition plane.
Ideally, then, the spatial filter should reproduce both the phase
and the amplitude effects which were present in the original
wave diffracted by the object.
We have investigated methods by which both the phase
information and the amplitude information can be recorded in
a spatial filter. A "complex filter" is produced by converting
the directional phase information into amplitude information which
can be recorded on film. This is accomplished by interfering the
information carrying beam with a second beam and hence this tech-
nique is referred to as the "two-beam process". At some points
in the plane of intersection, the two-beams add in amplitude and at
other points they cancel each other out. The net result is that
the phase or directional information is recorded on photographic
film. Figure 5 illustrates the construction of a spatial filter
using a two-beam process.
- 7 -
It is a well-known principle of optics that when two
beams originating from a coherent source are caused to intersect,
an interference pattern is formed: the interference pattern in
this case consists of many parallel lines, each about one thou-
sandth of an inch wide. The resulting two-beam spatial filter
is practically identical with the single beam filter described
earlier, but with this fine line interference structure super-
imposed upon it.
While the physical appearance of the two-beam spatial
filter is not much more impressive than was the single beam
spatial filter, there is a significant improvement in the recog-
nition process. The optical system used for recognition is
shown in Figure 6. Observe that it is practically identical
to that used in the previous recognition system. The difference
is that part of the beam, after passing through the two-beam
spatial filter is diffracted below the axis of the optical system
by the fine-line structure of the filter and therefore the prob-
lem of overlapping images is eliminated. If recognition takes
place, a very bright pinpoint of light will appear in this plane
below the optical axis and is subsequently referred to as a recog-
nition spot. As you remember, in the case of the single beam
spatial filter, the letter "T" was recognized by straining out
all the information that was not part of the "T" and then recon-
structing the remaining "T" information. Using the two-beam
approach, however, if the letter "T" is recognized, a recognition
spot is formed; if "T" is not present, then no recognition spots
appear. The example of Figure 6 shows the recognition system,
object, and spatial filter to find the letter "T". Two points of
light are shown in the first order recognition plane and correspond
to the recognition of the two letter "Ts" in the object. This
form of information lends itself readily to automatic processing
systems. Either we have the information present and a subsequent
- 8 -
recognition spot, or we do not have the desired information and no
recognition spot. By sampling the recognition plane with a light
detector, it is possible to build a system which, when it recognizes
the desired information executes electronic circuitry.
Of course the letter "T" represents a simplified pattern,
but the system seems to work even better for more complicated patterns.
We are not interested in recognizing "Ts", but are interested in
recognizing fingerprints and intricate steel engravings.
Advantages and Disadvantages Based on Present Work
The spatial filtering method of third-dimensional steel
engraved documents and fingerprint recognition has several advantages
over other methods of recognition.
A. Recognition is instantaneous, limited only by the me-
chanical pattern input mechanism.
B. Partial images can be recognized. As long as most of
the information which is available does correlate, recognition will
take place even though one of the two patterns being compared is in-
complete. This property is especially advantageous when you are at-
tempting to correlate partial latent prints on a prism with a complete
print on a document. The lateral, vertical, longitudinal and depth
position in the system of the object to be recognized is not critical.
C. The recognition and verification of fingerprints using
lasers and the two-beam holographic spatial filters can be accomplished
by two methods. One is to transfer the negative image of the bearer's
fingerprint to an opaque white core so that it can be reflected. The
other method, the preferred one, is to punch a hole in the white core
and transfer the negative fingerprint image directly to the thermo-
plastic cover so that after lamination it will be within the area
punched-out (as shown by figure 7). The document placed by
the bearer in a slot of the "reader", therefore, has the negative
image and transparent area in the correct position (patents pending)
- 9 -
so that in effect the laser beam passes through the transparent part of
the negative fingerprint pattern. When the bearer "rolls" his finger
on the prism, located along side of the slot of the "reader", the pat-
tern of the finger is reflected as a positive transparency which then
acts as the holographic spatial filter of the laser beam which has passed
through the "negative". Please note that when the finger is "rolled"
the underside is exposed making possible to use available systems as a
means to detect if a counterfeit "rubber" fingerprint pattern has been
adhered to the underside of the bearer's finger (patents pending). A
bright recognition spot reveals that the bearer's finger on the prism
matches the fingerprint negative on the entry document indicating that
the bearer is using a document issued to him originally.
The recognition of the very intricate multi-colored steel
engraved third-dimensional entry document using a two-beam spatial fil-
ter is shown by figure 8. (Patents pending.) In this instance, a nega-
tive film .005" thick of the multiple steel engravings on the FRONT of
the thermoplastic covers is adhered back to back in registered posi-
tion with another negative also .005" thick of the multiple steel en-
gravings of the BACK of the thermoplastic covers, thereby creating a
third-dimensional image with depth. This assembly is fixed in a
permanent position within the "reader". Two oscillating laser beams
about 1" apart pass through the transparent negative third-dimensional
films of the multi-steel engravings. (As shown by figure 8.) A positive
print of the intricate steel engravings is engraved on BOTH sides of
the .010" thick thermoplastic cover in registration with each other.
Upon lamination, the combined image of the two sets of steel engravings
is in third-dimension and matches the above first step of this descrip-
tion. A reflection of the laminated multi-colored third-dimensional
steel engraved entry document acts as the holographic spatial filter
of each of the two laser beams.
- 10 -
Two bright recognition spots reveal that the bearer is using
an entry document which is a completely genuine document and not
a counterfeit. It is interesting to note that several locations
or areas of the third-dimensional, back-to-back, negatives can
be chosen so that, let's say, three points of verification can
be used at the same time and thereby make counterfeiting all the
more impossible. To change the coding technique these areas can
be changed at will to recognize similar areas on the genuine
document placed in the slot of the "reader". Photo-electric
diodes, in series, will be actuated by the several bright recog-
nition spots which in turn will also be in series with the finger-
print verification diode.
With other techniques such as the computer controlled
flying-spot scanner to digitize the fingerprint pattern or Vidicon
scanning techniques, the position of the subject can be extremely
critical in determining recognition. There cannot be the slightest
movement. With spatial filtering, this is not important. The
relative rotational positions of the object and the spatial filter
need only to be accurate to within plus or minus 3 degrees for
correlation to take place using the spatial filtering technique.
The usual "flying-spot" or Vidican scanning techniques require
rotational alignment within a very small fraction of a degree.
Even the pulse of the finger placed on a prism can effect the
reading of the fingerprint.
D. The recognition or matching of the document placed
in the slot of the "reader" and its third-dimensional steel engraved
designs with the same third-dimensional designs permanently fixed
in position within the "reader" is an ideal application for
spatial filtering.
E. The input objects to the system must be in trans-
parency form. Since spatial filtering depends on the diffraction
of light, objects not in transparency form cause too much light
to be scattered to produce good diffraction images.
- 11 -
One disadvantage of spatial filtering, as we propose to
use it, and to many other types of automatic recognition systems, is
that the typical latent prints which are to be correlated are very
noisy. That is, the signal, or perfect print, is obscured by dirt
and surface roughness or is distorted by too much pressure of the
finger when placed on the prism. The bearer can be instructed to
clean the finger and "roll" the finger back and forth across the
prism. In our tests this procedure, even with "dirty" fingers, re-
sults in successful operation. Of course, an applicant trying to
use a phony fingerprint cemented to the underside of his finger would
be immediately apprehended when the underside of the finger is ex-
posed by this movement which allows an instantaneous and automatic
examination of this area by various means. A "good" fingerprint on
the document at the time of issue is no problem since manual obser-
vation can assure this degree of perfection.
In Conclusion
It is a fact that holographic optical reading devices will
save the taxpayer huge amounts of money and at the same time perform
the task of automatically inspecting entry documents much more ef-
ficiently than any human. This cannot be ignored. Especially so in
view of the fact that the "readers" we have designed will cost only a
fraction of the cost of an encryptive code "reader". Expensive sophi-
sticated computers to digitize a fingerprint and the computers to
perform the rest of an entrance system based on this technique are very
expensive and most likely to give operational trouble. The "reader"
we recommend confirms most efficiently the genuineness of the entry
document, the authenticity of the bearer, the built-in mini-computer
as the "look-out-book" apprehends those bearers wanted by the author-
ities and a digital printer delivers a tape giving a record of "who-
where-when-why" used the device. All this is done automatically with
minimum amount of supervision, thereby saving huge sums of money.

Dr. Theodore Marrs,
Special Assistant to the President,
The White House,
Washington, D.C. 20503.
Subject: Durable Visas and other
Entry Documents.
Dear Dr. Marrs;
The inclosed letter dated August 29th received from Commissioner
Chapman may be of interest to you. We also inclose our reply of
September 8th.
I understand that the Immigration Service are delaying and "side-
stepping" the matter of having aging and durability tests made
by independent and unbiased laboratories. There is no reason for
this delay since they know very well how the new Entry Document
will be made and of what material, which, incidently has nothing
to do with the Security of the document.
Please allow me to recommend that all funds for the new system
be held-up by OMB until favorable durability reports are received
from the National Bureau of Standards and a reliable, unbiased
Commercial Laboratory.
To issue the New Entry Document system and then find out that
in two or three years they crack and break would be disastrous.
Sincerely
WHITEHEAD & CO.
Ned Whitehead
President.

Dear Mr. Commissioner:
Replying to yours of the 29th regarding our letter to Dr.
Theodore Marrs, sent to you by Attorney General Levi, I wait with
interest the independent and unbiased Bureau of Standards and Com-
mercial laboratory reports on the 7-year aging and durability tests
of the Mitre Corporation recommended all-plastic credit card type
of entry document.
In the event the reports are unfavorable, we offer a document
with a steel core of such temper and flexibility it will pass a
similar test for a 10-year period of time (patents pending).
We understand that Mitre is also recommending that the new docu-
ment have included "special features" which supposedly will prevent
counterfeiting. This is a surprise since, according to testimony,
their encryptive coding is infallible. Of course, shortly after the
new Mitre documents are issued all the facts about the added "features"
will be in the hands of experienced and skilled counterfeiters simply
because MONEY TALKS. A $50,000 cash tax-free bribe will undoubtedly
do the trick. You can stake your reputation on the fact that anything
which INS can add to an entry document can also be added to a phony
by a counterfeiter. Please remember that, according to testimony,
there are now 17 versions of the present INS documents in use, all
added after the first issue, and there are still counterfeits.
In the event you decide NOT TO GAMBLE with the ability of counter-
feiters to compromise the Mitre document, we offer a truly counterfeit-
proof, multi-engraving plate and multi-colored steel engraved third-
dimensional document, without added gimmicks, read by holography,
which makes possible for a person applying for admittance to quickly
and most reliably admit himself by personally placing his document in
the slot of the READER and then "roll" his finger on a prism. (Patents
pending.) We very clearly outlined these wonderful advantages to you
in our letter of August 28th.
Sincerely,
WHITEHEAD & CO.

Dear Mr. Whitehead:
In your letter dated July 21, 1975, to Dr. Theodore Marrs, you
recommend that the new alien identification card be subjected to aging
and durability tests. Accelerated aging and durability tests are, in
fact, an integral part of the ADIT System development plan.
Two other issues which you mentioned are also addressed in the project
protocol. First, the need to avoid multiple versions of valid cards was
identified in conjunction with the requirements analysis effort. Secondly,
the requirement for special security provisions is targeted for analysis
and implementation of new provisions early in the project life cycle.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service is making a concerted
effort to insure that all aspects of the ADIT System environment are
being scrutinized. Thank you for your interest in the success of this
project.
Sincerely,
Euapinal L. F. Chapman, Jr.

Dear Mr. Commissioner:
In reply to yours of the 25th, I have been very busy
with my research and seeing that my developments are properly filed
at the Patent Office. The enclosed summary covers some of the
features.
Our concept of comparing fingerprints by holographic spatial
filtering requires that the finger be "rolled" on a prism to obtain
an accurate match between the fingerprint on the entry document and
the pattern on the finger. The underside of the finger is exposed
by this movement and allows an instantaneous and automatic examina-
tion of this area by various means (patent pending) to determine if
a counterfeit rubber or plastic fingerprint has been adhered to this
surface of the finger. Obviously, my invention makes possible for
an applicant to quickly and most efficiently admit himself at a Port
of Entry and thereby save the taxpayer millions of dollars.
The Mitre system, as developed by NBS for the FBI, is a
computer controlled flying-spot scanning technique to digitize the
fingerprint pattern. This technique requires that a fingerprint on
a fingerprint card or a finger on a prism be absolutely motionless
while the pattern is being scanned or "read". A counterfeit finger-
print cemented to the underside of a finger placed on the prism is
therefore hidden from view and cannot be detected. Consequently, if
reliable and effective verification is to be expected, all ten fingers
of every applicant applying for admittance, particularly those in
automobiles, must be carefully examined prior to placing a finger on
the prism. This examination will necessitate that large numbers of
additional INS Inspectors be employed, costing the taxpayer many un-
necessary millions of dollars. Furthermore, such inspection will
cause intolerable delays at the borders.
I will call your Intelligence Office in the near future for
an appointment to discuss the matter.
Sincerely,
WHITEHEAD & CO.
