E: TELEPHONE SERVICE AT COMMAND POST, MERWIN DAM, (TELEPHONE NO. 225-7151)
On April 17, 1972, the writer contacted of the General Telephone Company, Gresham, Oregon, which handles the telephone service at Merwin Dam to discuss the billing of the telephone installed on 3/20/72 at the Command Post at Merwin Dam. It was explained to that, in view of the heavy use of the phone to make calls to Fort Lewis, this office was interested in exploring the possibility of having the entire billing made as a Watts installation, retroactive to the date of installation, if such a billing would be cheaper than having the calls treated as long distance calls. To make such a determination, however, the telephone company would have to determine what the bill is at this time. said he would request a special run of the billing for the above number which would take some three days as these runs are made every three days and would telephonically contact the writer or ASAC
said he would request a special run of the billing for the above number which would take some three days as these runs are made every three days and would telephonically contact the writer or ASAC
advised, however, even if the Watts line would be cheaper he doubted if it would be made retroactive at this date.
It also was explained to that we might consider furnishing his company with a list of calls made from the Command Post to various numbers at fort Lewis and have separate billings made up.
On April 18, 1972, SA MANNING advised that the Command Post at Merwin Dam would be totally deactivated by early noon of April 18, 1972, and he was then calling the local operator to have the telephone at the Command Post discontinued as of close of business April 18, 1972. 164-81-3293

He is a sky diver and has chutes of his own. Am told he recently had contact with some underworld characters in California, is talking of moving to Fiji to live.
More recent, he started a bike business in the University District somewhere with a business promotion of some sort which keeps him in touch. with the underworld, I am told.

Result of examination:
The twenty-dollar bill appearing on page 2 of Q48 was compared with the corresponding bill represented by K4. In the comparison, a photographic overlay of the Q48 bill showed the serial number on this bill to be out of register with the serial number on the K4 bill.
The examination definitely determined that the Q48 bill is not a part of the ransom money.

He advised that they had been unable to establish the whereabouts of RICHARD FLOYD McCOY on 11/24/71, the day of the hijacking. They have noted that gas purchases were made with his credit card at Provo, Utah; Cedar City, Utah -and at Las Vegas, Nevada, for his automobile on 11/25/71, the last one being made at Las Vegas, Nevada, some time . between 11:00 PM on 11/25/71, and 9:00 AM on 11/26/71. Further, McCOY and his wife are inveterate users of credit cards, purchasing meals and other small items on credit cards, but they have been unable to locate any purchases on the credit cards for 11/24/71.
A
A long distance telephone call was made from a public phone in the Tropicana Motel at Las Vegas to McCOY's home in Provo collect on 11/25/71. I suggested to them that they have Las Vegas find out who made the call since the Telephone Company maintains records on the identity of the caller.
They advised that when shown the photograph of the necktie and tie clip found in the Northwest Airlines plane related that he had seen McCOY wear similar tics.

During the conversation SAC CALAME suggested, and I agree, that we should check with the Army at Fort Lewis and at McChord AFB to see if McCOY could have made any flights on a military planc arriving at McChord or Fort Lewis on November 22, 23 or 24, 1971, or made any flight from there on those dates or November 25 or 26, 1971.

In addition, steps should be initiated at once through the appropriate airline to determine if McCOY using the name R. MCCOY, RICHARD FLOYD MCCOY, D. COOPER, DAN COOPER Or J. JOHNSON, made any flights from cither Seattle or Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas subsequent to 8:15 Ill on 11/24/71. This should be done at once.

Re Bureau airtel 5/17/72.
Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was con- ducted. Among the files reviewed were the main volumes, numbered 1 through 47, sub-files designated for particular areas of interest, i.e., Parachutes, Witnesses, Course, 1-A volumes and numerous suspect files. In addition, an examina- tion was made of all physical evidence being maintained at Seattle, for pertinent investigative leads.
As a result of this review, the following suggestions are being proposed:
REWARD : This case has generated world-wide attention and many suspects have been suggested and are continuing to be received. However, since nothing of value has yet been developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial reward for information leading to the identification and conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come forward and name the hijacker.
nothing of value has yet been developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial reward for information leading to the identification and conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come forward and name the hijacker.
To be realistic, the reward would have to be attractive to the person furnishing the information and therefore, a sum of not less than $25,000 is recommended.
The reward money could be provided either by the Department of Justice, or by the airlines, or by both. The only reward at the moment is $5,000, offered by the Seattle, Washington newspaper SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER "Secret Witness Program."

SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES: Since nothing was found in the search conducted by the Army in March and April, 1972 of the probable drop area in southwestern Washington, it now appears quite possible that the hijacker escaped safely and might have secreted the money in a safe deposit box.
It is recommended that nation-wide circularization be made of all banks, savings and loan associations and commerical companies offering this type security.
It is recommended that nation-wide circularization be made of all banks, savings and loan associations and commerical companies offering this type security. Fach such location would be furnished with a description of the subject and the artist's conception showing the hijacker with and without the glasses.
THE BOEING COMPANY: In 1963-1964, The Boeing Company had a team of 20 to 30 engineers and test pilots experimenting with the air stairs of The Boeing 727 to determine the plane's adaptability for dropping cargo or personnel. In the tests conducted the air stairs were removed and packages were dropped from the plane using an especially designed chute.
b7E
The Boeing Company has furnished the names of their employees who were involved in that experiment and investi- gation is being conducted to determine if one of these could be the hijacker. They are also being interviewed for any info they may have as to the identity of the hijacker.
Seattle is continuing to screen suspects in this matter, which are received from various sources and will give expedite attention to any worthwhile information obtained.

Honorable Sir:
Shortly after 6:30 P.M. on April 10 I placed a long distance call to the Regional Office of the F.B.I. in Portland. The call was answered by a who turned the call over to a after I had stated my reasons for placing the call.
Briefly, on the Oregon Coast I recently (Mar 23). to a certain party and this subsequent actions have raised doubts in my . mind.
(1). He carried on his person a large sum of money-all in $2000 bills.
(2). Each time he made a purchase - no matter how small-such as 2 packages of cigarettes (70℃) it was with a $2000 bill and he never spent the change or smaller bills. Each purchase was paid with a "new" $2000 bill and the pattern was repeated again.
(3) He did not want to be alone and, if he could, would get me or someone else to make his purchases with one of his $2000 bills.

Dear Mr. Milnes,
Now that the Army's participation in the search for D. B. Cooper has been completed, I would like to express to you my appreciation for the outstanding assistance and cooperation which you and your agents gave to and his squadron. It would have been understandable had the Bureau confined its participation only to those aspects of the search which required the presence of its agents. To the contrary, your agents participated to the fullest extent, and the manner in which they did so was most impressive. Their willingness to share the hardships of field duty and their cheerful cooperation in the search efforts reflects most favorably on their professionalism and on your leadership.
On behalf of all Army members of the search force, I express my sincere appreciation to you and all agents who took part in the operation.

I am a voracious reader and read an average of about one book a week . A majority of the books deal with literature, philosophy and commentaries on current issues.
My favorite sports are hiking, swimming and skydiving. Up until the last two years I have been a very ardent gardener.
I have written a great many short stories and poems and have been working on a novel for the past six years. However, I have not found a publisher interested to publish any of my work.
