The original letter of complaint written by Stephen Clyde, M.D.,
and mentioned in the accompanying letter of Captain Blaine, has
unfortunately been lost, owing perhaps to an error in filing.
Personnel presumed responsible have been instructed not to allow
such error to be repeated except if, as and/or when necessary.
C.McC.
On the margin of this memorandum there was a penciled notation, later
erased. Iodine vapor has been used to bring out the unmistakable
McCarran script. The notation read in part as follows: _Far be it
from a McC. to lose his job except if, as and or_--the rest is
undecipherable, except for a terminal word which is regrettably
unparliamentary.
