We quote the following letter from our Please make certain no such items are stocked in your store.
"You will recall the Northwest Airline Highjacking by a Mr. D. B. Cooper in October, 1971. As a result, we have had a number of subsequent highjackings using the same type of format with parachutes ransom notes, etc. Some even identifying themselves as D. B. Cooper. There have been attempts by many of the news media to glamorize, compliment and praise the actions of Mr. Cooper. It has gone on to a point of making him an actual "folk hero." To me this appears to be an act of great social irrespons- ibility on the part of several individuals. Recently, there has been a production of a record "D. B. Cooper, Where Are You." This record is a Tex Hughes Record and is pressed on a 45 disc.
Recently, there has been a production of a record "D. B. Cooper, Where Are You." This record is a Tex Hughes Record and is pressed on a 45 disc. The production company is Tom Bresh, Seattle Sound, 2227 - 56th Avenue North, Seattle.
I would not like to be a party of this irresponsible action by selling or handling these records in our stores. There also will be marketed a sweat-shirt idolizing Mr. D. B.Cooper. Likewise, we do not want to sell this product or any other product that will tend to stimulate the public heroic concept."

SUBJECT: NORJAK
On 2/11/72 Assistant Director IVAN CONRAD called from the Bureau, in response to an earlier call from me, at which time he advised that (1) the Bureau does not have any aerial photographic equipment; (2) they do have an agent with certain expertise in this but they are of the view that the military has the best equipment, He suggested that the military be polled to determine if they would take the aerial pictures and what it would cost us. In addition, in talking to them determine if it's possible for them to take the pictures and give the film to us for developing as a means of reducing the cost.
I told him that we had initially arranged for the Air Force to do it. Then when the Bureau came out with the airtel advising that we must get the cost estimate first and get Bureau approval before utilizing Air Force equipment that we discontinued this effort. However, I now find that the Air Force had scheduled to take this picture on 2/17/72.
I told him I would explore this further and be in touch with him.

In event they find no one at home at any of the locations, they will make a proper notation on a wavier form, setting forth the description of the property, and will either go back to attempt to contact or as an alternative wait until the search starts and then contact the person prior to going on the lang.

I told that we had informally contacted the office of Legal Counsel at the Army Headquarters in Washington, D. C., who, in turn, had informally contacted Undersecretary of the Army; both advised that they saw no objections to the Army assisting in this matter.
initially suggested that the request be formalized at Washington, D. C .; however, as a result of our conversation I volunteered to have a formal letter of request addressed to him from our San Francisco Office concerning this matter.

Dear General Surles:
On November 24, 1971, an unidentified individual held up and hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight 405 between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, and on landing in Seattle extorted $200,000 from the Northwest Airlines. He departed via the same plane with the crew from the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, and investigation by the FBI to date has developed information that more than likely this individual left the airplane via parachute in the vicinity of La Center, Washington.
Our further investigation has developed that very likely he came down in an area of approximately three and one-half miles wide by six miles long. Thus far, in spite of extensive nation- wide investigation we have developed no information that any of the money has turned up nor have we developed any information to indicate that the individual successfully completed the jump and escaped alive.
in spite of extensive nation- wide investigation we have developed no information that any of the money has turned up nor have we developed any information to indicate that the individual successfully completed the jump and escaped alive.
In view of the area to be searched and the magnitude of the problem, we request the assignment of a Company of ground troops together with support in order to search the terrain for the individual's body. Hopefully, if the assistance is to be extended the troops would be on location on orabout March 14, 1972, ready to commence the operation on March 15, 1972.
Should you render assistance and desire further details concerning the actual site and operation these can be secured through Special Agent in Charge J.E. Milnes, 1015 Second Avenue, Seattle, Washington, 98104, telephone 206-MA-0460.
