as follows:

2. | igiven the following set of circumstances, b6
the Boeing 727 which you are generally familiar with, the bic
rear stairway flying at 10,000 feet through clouds at about

178 knots6on IFR Plight, what would be the conditions that

would exist as soon as the cabin was depressurized?

A. As soon as the hatch was cracked, there would
be depression matters of the aircraft. The lowering of the
stairwell would create a effect on the entire aircraft
because the air flow is disrupted here which would naturally
effect the aircraft.

Q. This would have no material effect on the jumper
physiologically at this altitude?

A. No, not at 10,000 feet.

Q. This would be a very practical altitude in
which to jump?

A. Certainly.

Q. Would this be an ideal type aircraft from
which to make a daylight or night jump?

A. Yes. | [&Y- F/- Wh

Q. Given the consitions at night time with
clouds below to about 7,000 feet and partial clouds
and intermittent clouds taken to a ceiling about 4,000
feet, would this present any problems to a jumper?

A. There again we're dealing with variables.
If a man knew what altitude at the time he was leaving
the aircraft, there are two ways to determine his altitude
on opening:

1. From the second hand on a wristwatch;
2. A wrist type altimeter.

Q. Making this jump, what would be practical
for the man to do? To open the chute immediately or to
wait until he had a view of the ground?

A. I would wait at least ten seconds before
pulling. This way I am not only clear of the aircraft,
but I am also out of visual sight of the aircraft or any |
aircraft in the area. Cloud covering is an advantage but
not knowing where the ground is,is a problem because of the
peaks in the area. The above procedure would be in effect
if I was not in familiar territory. Another advantage of
an early chute opening would be for the jumper to select
the best drop zone possible.

In unfamiliar territory and wherein a light might
be observed, would' give the jumper not only an idea of his
altitude but an opportunity for steering himself toward
a suitable drop zone.

In chuting in familiar territory, this type of
dropp would be rather "simple to an experienced jumper".
This would allow the jumper to "free-fall" for the full
Beg meget

==== Part 14 · PDF page 69 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-33 ====
SE 164-81

40 second delay time. This would put him at approximately
2,000 feet altitute when the chute opens which still gives
him another three minutes to the ground.

Footwear for an experienced jumper is inconsequential.

Jumping into a heavily wooded area is also
relatively simple.

Jumping into water is even more simple for an
experienced jumper.

Q. If the wind velocity at 10,000 feet was 25
knots and the ground level five knots, roughly how far
could he travel?

A. He would be in the saddle for ten minutes.
On a clear and pull situation (immediate opening of the
chute), he. could go five miles on the wind line or wind
direction; and a normal delayed opening maximum distance
with a five knot wind would be two or three thousand feet.
Even with a non-steerable chute, by taking hold of the
risers and facing into the wind and making an almost direct
descent which would also produce a very soft landing
equivalent to stepping off a chair.

Q. Would the spped of the plane at 178 knots
present any problem?

A. No, not for a jumper.
Q. Based on the information we have discussed,

here, does this jump present any problem to an experienced
jumper?

A. None whatsoever.

Q. Do you think this man made this type of jump
before.

A. I would say he has made some high altitude
jumps before. The mere fact that the jumper requested
15 degree flaps and gear down to increase drag would also
indicate the jumper was an experienced high altitude
parachutist.

Q. In a free-fall from 10,000 feet to approximately
2,000 feet, what would be his rate of speed at rip cord
pull?

A. 120 miles per hour which is normal free-fall
terminal speed within the atmosphere because the speed
increases upon the increase of altitude.

Q. What would the possibility be of the jumper
suffering ankle or leg injuries in wearing oxford street
shoes?

A. No more than if he had jump boots on. It
shouldn't create any problem. |

From the information furnished regarding the above
situation, it is my opinion that this jumper was experienced
and I would say having at least 150 jumps.

Q. What would your guess be as to the number
of jumpers in the country that could pull this type of
jump off?

A. At least 1000 people.

In the "Parachutist" put out by the U. S. Parachute
Association, there are listed the names and state from which
they are from for every individual which has obtained a
license, whether it.is Class A, B, C, D, or I.

A Class C jumper could have made the above jump.
There are currently 7192 licensed Class C jumpers- to gay
nothing of Class D or I.

As of this month, there are 3094 Class D jumpers.

Class I is not given.

The above figures do not include military personnel

that have done high altitude free-fall jumps. There is no way
to determine how many jumpers would be in that category.

The only time lapse necessary from departure of the
aircraft to the opening of the chute is that time needed to
stabilize the body and this is determined by each jumpers
capabilities.

Q. Would accepting an unfamiliar chute present
any problem to this person?

A. It wouldn't bother me. I would certainly
check it over as would any experienced jumper.

Q. This would take less than ten minutes?

A. Yes.

Q. Could an average Forest Service Smoke Jumper
pull off this job?

A. I doubt it. Bearing in mind smoke jumpers are
for the most part all static line 'jumpers as is military,
and unless they're doing some skydiving on the side.

In all likelihood, the smoke' jumper could be
eliminated.

Q. Lee ona you discuss the age factor of a man b6
45 to 50 in parachute jumping? How many are active? bic

A. Very few.

However, high altitude jumpers in that age
group would be extremely limited. These would be officials
of jump clubs or parachute governing bodies and/or instructors.

Q. Bringing the age factor into this, would that
change your estimate of the excess with. which this jump
could be performed? —>—

A. No, because of the fact it requires no special
physical condition to pull off a jump if you know what you're

Q. Could you estimate how many residents in
the State of Washington or Oregon could have pulled this
off?

A. No.

Seattle-First National Bank, : b7C

the head office being in Seattle, Washington, provided the
following information:

upon being advised of the iden-

tity of the writer, handed the writer a film canister contain-

ing a microfilm, upon which the serial numbers of $250,000

worth of notes were recorded. He advised that of the $250,000

worth of notes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation should only

be concerned with the $20 bills, that is the serial numbers of 66

the bills, because the hijacker received only $20 bills. pyc
stated that there are $230,000 worth of $20 bills

recorded on the microfilm. advised that in order

for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine the ,

serial numbers of the $20 bills which the hijacker actually

received, we must subtract serial numbers which he provided

me from the total list of serial numbers on the microfilm.

provided a list of serial numbers
of $20 totaling $30,000 worth of notes, which, although they
were on the microfilm itself, were not part of the_$200,000 b6é
'worth of $20 bills which the hijacker received. | b7c
stated that the bank packs $20 bills in packages OF .

et therefore contains $2,000 worth of $20 bills.

provided the first and last serial number in each
© ese $20 bill packets and advised that we should subtract
both of these numbers, as well as the 98 serials numbers
between each of these groups of numbers in order to determine

the actual serial numbers of the bills which the hijacker
received. Thése groups of numbers are as follows:

L41197159A thru £12561828B
L33639577A thru L20%S8572A
