(1) The document is genuine;(2) The transferor does not have knowledge of any fact that would impair the document's validity or worth; and(3) The negotiation or delivery is rightful and fully effective with respect to the title to the document and the goods it represents.Dec. 30, 1963, 77 Stat. 730, Pub.
