They need to turn the docs over for carbon dating and to be checked for 'rag' content of the paper fiber. The 'rag' content in 1970's paper would be different than today's paper. Also to see if they match other paper out of the office of Col. Killian. Older docs are no longer white-white but off color or yellowed if not stored properly.
How much do you want to bet that CBS doesn't have the originals?

That's silly. You want some paper from 1972? Let me just get my notes from that year. There's always a blank sheet or two in there. Are they yellowed? Yup. Are they from 1972? Yup. I'll pull out my old Royal typewriter, too, or maybe the Smith-Corona on the shelf. It's ribbon may be that old as well.
