[Editor’s notes: This page was transcribed by Alexandra Prince, a professor of Religious Studies at Skidmore College. The editors are grateful for their invaluable work. The documents retain their original spelling, with corrections only for clarity and for names.
[Following the cover page are several charts that were kept to monitor Jonestown’s security. A chart was kept for each person assigned to that task, and made notes of the date, the check-in times (C/I/T), the check-out time (C/O/T), and the initials of the supervisor. There is a column for comments, but none were made in these reports.
[We have reproduced charts for Dee Dee Smith, Shirley Edwards, Regina Duncan and Brenda Cobb. Additional charts follow for Billy Jackson, Danny Moton, Poncho Johnson, Bob Kice, Bonnie Simon, Tinetra Johnson, Bruce Jackson, Charles Marshall, Eyvonne James, and Greg Watkins. They appear on the pdf as pages C-11-a-9a – C-11-a-30a.]
