he gave all the information he had received to the Portland agent and the only new information he has is that in response to arequest by the Portland agent that he recontact he did so. However now says he knows nothing about the matter and in fact wasn't even where he said he had been when the information re the hijacker was secured. advised he feels that congoted the whole story and now sees that his story could get him into trouble and has disclaimed all knowledge of such an incident as he orignally described.
Personal observation of and manner in which he answered b6 questions re this matter (very evasive and cautiously) leads the b7C writer to believe that he was part of this concocted story.
Recommend no further investigation in this matter.

CLAUSNER advised an elderly lady was living in the home and moved to Goldendale, Washington, to be nearer her family. The elderly lady is named Mrs. MIDLAND, according to CLAUSNER.
- Subsequent to her move, an envelope was dis- covered in the vacant home containing the $20 bills. CLAUSNER advised all of the $20 bill serial numbers were run through NCIC, as well as compared with serial numbers on the D. B. COOPER ransom list. There was no match either in NCIC or with the D. B. COOPER ransom fist.
It is noted all the D. B. COOPER ransom serial numbers have been entered into NCIC.
