Where are those plans from? Were they produced by the FBI? AKA, are they on the public domain (see example below) so I can upload them to commons and/or link them on the wikipedia article?

Hi. Thanks for writing. Those plans are from the 'Subject File' series in the archive, alone in Box 3, Folder 1 "Diagram". There is no information about the origin of this floor plan, although some of the handwriting appears to be Mr. Reavis'. We are trying to find out who originally produced this, but that may prove difficult. I'm sorry I don't have more information for you on this point; I'll modify the post if we find out more.
