IBM's original S-Boxes for DES?

Hi,

A number of sources state that the NSA changed the S-Boxes (and reduced the key
size) of IBM's original DES submission, and that these change were made to
strengthen the cipher against differential/linear/?? cryptanalysis.

Does anybody have a reference to, or have an electronic copy of these original
S-Boxes?

Nicolai.
