Sec. 1.360  Proof of lack of record.

    The absence of an official record or entry of a specified tenor in 
an official record may be evidenced by a written statement signed by an 
officer, or by his deputy, who would have custody of the official 
record, if it existed, that after diligent search no record or entry of 
a specified tenor is found to exist in the records of his office, 
accompanied by a certificate as provided in Sec. 1.359. Such statement 
and certificate are admissible as evidence that the records of his 
office contain no such record or entry.
