Re: "Cleaning Up the Burke"

[Lee Garrison <rgarrisonjr@hotmail.com>]

Larson tried to import $31,700 from Japan in traveler's checks.  This was a 
violation of 31 U.S.C.A. § 5316(a)(1)(A):

"Any individual who imports or exports $10,000 or more in monetary 
instruments must complete Customs report form - applies to traveler's checks 
in any form, whether restrictively endorsed or not."
