This means that virtually all of the available investigation channels and ideas have been pursued and at each test the document has shown to be authentic.

At this level, witnesses are present that have seen or read the document in an "official" capacity and will or have signed an affidavit to that effect.

Authenticity of a document involves examining many questions, such as:

Where did the document come from?
What are the results of the forensic paper, ink, watermark, typewriter and handwriting tests?
Are there unique and obscure content markers that are accurate for this type of document?
Are there direct first hand witnesses?
How difficult is the document to hoax or fake?
Who would have faked the document and why?
All of these factors as well as other subtleties weave their way into an authenticity rating for each document.

The following document has received the highest rating for authenticity by forensic document experts. The font and typewriter for the time period have been proven. The signature of Harry Truman has also been graded. Given to President Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower on November 18, 1952
