   I beg to differ.  Some letters, perhaps.

   Look at from their perspective - why _would_ they spend even one minute   
   trying to find something there?   
      
   If it "proves" the existence of the original memo, and they can prove   
   that the memo was written by the claimed author, and they can prove that   
   he was writing about what he had seen, then they'd (possibly) prove that   
   they'd been lying to the public, and congress for years.   
      
   So they probably wouldn't be too keen to do that.   
      
   If, OTOH, they could decode it, and it's someone's shopping list, no-one   
   would believe them.   
      
   I believe you'd call that a lose-lose situation, so it's pretty obvious   
   why they're not interested.
