I called the Bureau on 12/9/71 and talked to SA HENRY SHUTZ. I told him it was our feeling here that we should get cooperative newspapers to publish this bait list and to generate as much enthusiasm as we could among the public and perhaps somebody would come up with one of these $20 bills.
I told him it was our feeling here that we should get cooperative newspapers to publish this bait list and to generate as much enthusiasm as we could among the public and perhaps somebody would come up with one of these $20 bills. I wondered if the Bureau had given considera- tion to instructing all SAC's to have this done.
He called back and said they were not going to do this because first, they did not think most newspapers would publish it; second, they did not want all SAC's to have the feeling that they had to get it published, which might cause a great deal of difficulty around the field. He said he thought their instructions were sufficient, that if we could arrange to get it published in our division, and if we wanted to call other offices on a selected basis, and see if the SAC's could work out some arrangement to publish it, he would leave that up to us. He definitely stated that we had authority to get the list published if we so desired.

I told him we were contacting a number of daily newspapers, urging them as a public service to publish serial numbers of the bills taken in this case. I suggested that as an economic matter it might be more desirable to have the Bureau prepare a mat containing these numbers, which could be distributed to newspapers and used by them as a means of printing and thereby, hopefully, be able to encourage more to print the list.
I talked to SA BLAND about this matter and he advised that it would have to be initiated by the investiga- tive division.
SA SHUTZ called me back on 12/10/71 and advised they were exploring the possible costs of this matter and would let us know Monday.
In the meantime I had talked to of the SEATTLE P-I, and to of the SEATTLE TIMES, inquiring of them if as a public service would they be interested in publishing the list. Both advised it would be considered and they would let us know.

Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECT; Northwest Airlines Flight #305, Portland to Seattle, November 24, 1971 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION
Dear Sir:
Northwest Airlines Flight 1305 enroute from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, on November 24, 1971, was hijacked and a ransom demand made of Northwest Airlines for $200,000.
The hijacker instructed that the $200,000 as well as four parachutes be ready by 5:00 PM, on November 24, 1971.
Northwest Airlines then arranged with Seattle-First National Bank, Seattle, to make the $200,000 available and the same was microfilmed for later evidentiary use. The film is now in possession of the Seattle Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

For record purposes, I called SAC WHALEY at Albuquerque on 11/29/71, and told him I understood that there was a research project at Hodloman Air Force Base in New Mexico dealing with the effect on a body of high altitude parachuting and the effect of low temperatures on a body in case a jump was made. I asked him to see if he could contact the person responsible for the survey to give us some notions about what effect this would have on the man making this jump.
I told him that the weather was clear to 1500 feet, broken clouds to 5,000, solid above, and that the jump was possibly made around 7,000 to 10,000 ft. at a time when the "total average temperature" was minus 7 degrees.

Dear Earl:
After I called you this morning, I told I would call back in the afternoon but I was

With current events as they are, I know that you have your hands full and i don't intend to take but just a moment of your time.
With current events as they are, I know that you have your hands full and i don't intend to take but just a moment of your time.
were discussing the extensive list which had to be printed and sent out with regard to the currency which was turned over to the hijacker and the cost (to the taxpayers) which was run up in getting the booklet printed and mailed all over the country. This may or may not be a matter of particular interest to you came up with an idea which might help recover some of those printing costs and, with any luck, might even tum up some of the items which are listed.
That is for the FBI to get a news release out to every daily newspaper (thru AP or UPI wire) that copies of the list of bills, in booklet form, are available to anyone interested at a cost of $1.00 apiece. Not that she nor I subscribe to the "hero-worship" concept we've been reading about, but we believe there'd be hundreds who would like to get ahold of a copy. . . either for curiosity's sake or as a souvenir item. In addition to making the books available for a buck apiece, the news item could also point out that if an actual
In addition to making the books available for a buck apiece, the news item could also point out that if an actual bill was turned up, J. Edgar Hoover would buy it back for $21.00, thereby returning their investment on the book.
I know it may sound weird but, on the other hand, I can see how it also might even tum up some real good leads.
