IN ORDER TO SECURE MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION OF THE SERIAL NUMBERS

OF THE MONEY PAID IN THIS CASE,

SEATTLE TIMES, SAC CONTACT, HAS BEEN APPROACHED BY ME TO DETERMINE
IF THE PAPER WOULD BE WILLING TO PUBLISH THIS LIST.

HAS ADVISED THAT A STUDY OF THE COST OF THIS

MATTER REVEALS THAT LABOR COSTS IN COMPOSING WOULD RUN APPROXIMATEL
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS AND THE NEWS PRINT COST WOULD RUN APPROXIMATELY
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. SHOULD THEY PUBLISH THIS AT THE PUBLIC
SERVICE RATE, THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS AND AT THE REGULAR COMMERCIAL RATE, IT WOULD RUN APPROXI-
MATELY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. HE HAS ADVISED THAT BY PROBIDING

A PREPRINTED MAT, THE COMPOSITION COST COULD NOT BE ELIMINATED
SINCE THEIR UNION CONTRACT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE COST BE PAID

NONETHELESS. HAS INQUIRED IF THE BUREAU WOULD BE

WILLING TO PAY THE ACTUAL COST UP TO SIXTEEN HUNDRED FOR PUBLISHING
THIS List.

Re Seattle letter 12/13/71 transmitting copy
of a letter received by the managing editor of the
SEATTLE TIMES on 12/13/71, signed "D. B. COOPER."

On 12/14/71 SA BOB MATHESON called from the
Bureau. He advised that the UPI carried an article today
concerning a letter received by the LOS ANGELES TIMES; and
wanted to know where the original of this letter could be
located since Los Angeles advised they had a copy.

¥ told him that the SEATTLE TIMES likewise re-
ceived a copy, as did the WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK
TIMES, and that we had sent a wire to Los Angeles, New
York and WFO to get the copy received by them.

While talking to SA MATHESON, I called| } | b6
[_jat the SEATTLE TIMES, who had furnished the letter BTC
originally and he said he had given us everything they
received.

I advised MATHESON that I suspected that very
Likely the original was still in the hands of the
writer.

Specimen Qi contains eight cigarette butts.
Seven of these are Raleigh S5um filter~tipped cigarette butts.
The eighth cigarette butt has the same design and composition
as Raleigh S5mum cigarettes and, accordingly, is probably a
Raleigh S5um cigarette. This type of cigarette is sold in
a "soft pack,"

A brown head hair clipping and a brown limb hair
both of Caucasian origin were found on Q2. The head hair
clipping is suitable Zor significant comparison results;
however, the limb hair possesses too few unique microscopic
characteristics to be of value for this purpose.

Foreign textile fibers of various types and colors
xyemoved from Q2 have been placed in a pillbox,

Dear Sirs,

Olympic Helicopters can provide valuable assistance to
you as a time saver in your investigations and search
operations. By eliminating wasted travel time for inves~
tigators and for evidence to reach your laboratories,

a chartered helicopter can result in economies far ex-
ceeding the charter cost. A helicopter can also be in-
valuable for searches or surveillance operations.

We have two types of helicopter available for your
charter. The Hughes 300 is a small two passenger
machine that is ideal for beating the ferry schedule,
congested or non-existant roads, or for searches. It
cruises at 80 MPH and charters for $75'per hour. For
longer distances and when you are in a real hurry, our
Hughes 500 turbine powered helicopter is the answer.
It carries four passengers at 140 MPH cruise for $225
per hour.

Respectfully yours,

bé

In reference to the. recent hijacking committed by
(D. Cooper} I've been reading various news articles and I believe

I've discovered something of value. Consider the enclosed news-

papex clippings. There is a definite resemblance between the
photo of John E. List and the artist conception of D. Cooper.

It would seem that Mr. List has the type of grooming,
background and intelligence that has been desdxribed by witnesses
in the hijacking incident. Also, Mr. List would have the motive
because if he were killed during the hijacking, he would have

nothing to lose since he had already murdered his family. it

is suspected in both cases. that each man, has left the country.

Sirs,
I xnew from tne start that I wouldn't be caught, ; 4
I didn't rob Northwest Orient because I thought it

would be romantic, heroic or any of the other euphemisms -.—--—- _-+

that seem to attach themselves to situations of high
risk, ,

'I'm no modern day Robin kood. Unfortunately do have
only 14 months to live,

Ky life has been one of hate, turmoil, hunger and more
hate, this seemed to te the fastest and most profitable
way to gain a few fast grains of peace of nind,

I don't blame people for hating re for what I've done
nor do I blame anybody for wanting me to be caught and
, punished, though this can never happen,

Here are some (not ai2) of the things working against
the authorities: .

Ife not a boasting man

I left no fingerprints

Y wore a toupee

x wore putty make-up

They could add or sudtract from the composite a hundred

times and not come up with an accurate description; and "|

we voth Know it,

I've come and gone on several airline flights already
and am not holed up in some obsure backwoods town,
Neither am I a psycho-pathic killer, As a matter of
fact I've never even received a speeding ticket,

The following investigation was conducted by SA
| | on December 1, 1971:

b6
b7c

Major|

Maxwoll Air Force Base, Alabama, advised he is acquainted
with sport parachutists and skydiving activities in the .
northwestern section of the United States.

The U. S, Parachute Association has divided the
country up into about seven regions with a total membership
of about 25,000 to 30,000 people,

He further indicated that he firmly bolieved that
if this had been a skydiver who committed the hijacking, the
skydiver would not have come fron the Northwest section of the
United States, He believed that since most skydivers know each'
other in a section of the country, this would preclude it being
an individual from that section of the country,

tajor[__l advised the jump from 10,009 feet in
bad weather is not a great physical feat and there would be no
problem in jumping at that altitude in bad weather, He advised
that an individual would not need jump boots and stated that
he, hinself,has skydived with tennis shoes 'on,

At this time Major was shown an artist con-
ception of an individual, ali¢g the hijacker of Northwest
Air Lines Flight 305, and he indicated he did not know anybody
in his section of the country who fit this description,

Major further stated that whoever set up the hijacking
operation in this case knew quite a lot about airplanes, He
further indicated that probably the reason behind the four
parachutes given to the hijacker was that the hijacker wanted
to test the good faith of the pcople on the ground inasmuch as

a skydiver would be able to tell whether or not parachutes were
operable, He further indicated that if two parachutes were left
behind in the aircraft, the hijacker could have dropped one
'Shutérand activated it as a decoy to ward off any trailing -air~
craft, and then could have bailed out after the decoy 'chute was
dropped, /

with the Portland, Seattle or Reno Weather Bureau a day or two
before his feat concerning the weather forecast along the

in that area of the country regarding the hijacking and if

any positive information is obtained, he would contact the

I must ask you, who in the hell do some of you people think you
are, and what in the hell do you think you're doing.

I have suceeded in pulling off one of the most successful, talked
about crimes of today. Then some guy credits himself with the masterpiece
and thanks everbody, for their cooperation an hospitality...Well Damn it,
this is making me look very stupid. These prank letters must Stop...

No one was indangered, the caper was only committed to show the
unbelieving world that a PERFECT crime was possible. )
