00: SEATTLE .

Recentiy in connection with the Norjak case, the
Department of Justice has been attempting to determine if the
Federal Statute of Limitations (five years) will apply to the
unknown subject of captioned hijacking, and if in fact it does
apply, then is it at this time, feasible to consider obtaining
a "John Doe" indictment.

In an effort to completely review all pertinent
evidence obtained and determine its present value if unknown
subject was identified and brought to trial now or within the
last three to five years, as well as, to determine if there is
enough individually identifiable information in our possession
to have a basis for obtaining a "John Doe" indictment, a
Norjak conference will commence April 8, 1976, 8:30 a.m., at
the SFO,

All receiving offices will send appropriate
representatives insuring they possess complete EHGvIcdge of
all itivestigative aspects of captioned case conducted within
their respective division and a general overall insight into
all investigation conducted to date, Each representative will
be expected to offer suggestions as to new directions in which
this investigation might proceed and/or furnish information
tO insure that all logical investigation has been conducted.
It is absolutely necessary that we insure all investigative
avenues have been 100 per cent exhausted.

NORJAK ,

BUFILE 164-2111

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub with and without glasses.

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated
to the stewardess that his brief case contained
a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his
demands were met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with
his instructions. After he received the parachutes
and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and
the two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly
direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed
which would enable the rear door of the plane to be
opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where
the plane landed to refuel. It was determined the
hijacker, two parachutes, and the ransom money had
disappeared when the plane was inspected at Reno,

Nevada. Loe {/~¢ Ze

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 1-76

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, D.C, 20535

April 15, 1976

MEMORANDUM TO ALL SPECIAL AGENTS Sun x
RE: COMPUTER SUPPORT TO THE FIELD sun XK

The main thrust of our computer support effort in the past has been directed at administrative
and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) matters. It is now my desire to concentrate more on ways
our computers can support the Agent in the Field. This is to make you aware of the computer services
that are presently available to you.

The Data Processing Section (DPS) of the Computer Systems Division is responsible for
working with the Field on investigative matters. Agents with specialized backgrounds have been assigned
to this Section and will assist you if some aspect of a case lends itself to computerization. This might be
a large volume of records (e.g., checks, cash receipts, purchase orders, personnel records, payroll
records, telephone numbers, etc.} that require sequencing, comparing or calculating, to disclose
misappropriations, kiting, lapping, skimming, padding of payrolls, identities of suspects, conspiracies,
etc. If you think the work can be performed more. practically on the computer, you should contact the
DPS,

eA

The DPS also offers assistance in the following areas:

1. Printing records that are in computer form (e.g., records on computer tapes,
disks or cards).

2. Assistance in writing search warrants for, and conducting searches of, computer
installations.

3. Assistance in writing subpoenas for computer records.
4, Assistance in auditing computer records.

5. Assistance in interviewing computer personnel (e.g., computer analysts,
programmers, operators, etc, }.

6. Computerized Telephone Number File (CTNF) services which will resequence

7%. Special searches of the NCIC current files or previous records, in addition
to the normal NCIC service.

The DPS is ready to assist the Field in all future major cases. DPS has developed a "Major
Case Information System, "a prototype of which was used in the RESMURS Case. A similar system is
presently being used in the LAGBOM and ZAPBOM Cases. From this system, the Agent can more readily
determine what investigation has been conducted on the case, and what leads are still outstanding. The
system will also benefit the Agent when writing reports, answering inquiries, controlling physical evidence
and for file review prior to trial.

Part I, Section 3 (pages 28 and 29) of the Manual of Rules and Regulations sets forth the way
to request computer support services for investigative matters. I encourage you to take full advantage of
this service.

It is felt that several organizations might be interested
in the publicity that could be obtained by offering a re-
ward of this type, however, discretion should be utilized
in the choices considered and Seattle should advise the
Bureau prior to accepting a source other than Northwest.

Seattle should also obtain a List of all publica-
tions previously utilized for publicity in this case, as
well as, parachute associate publications, pilot publica-
tions, numismatic magazines and others that might possibly
be interested in publishing serial number listings. The
name and place of publication should be obtained so that
at the appropriate time leads can he set out to offices
covering the place of publication instructing them to
make contact and request their assistance.

Seattle will prepare for eventual dissemination,
an all SAC airtel requesting field-wide assistance in the
contacting of local area newspapers to ask for their
participation in this program. A brief synopsis of facts
surrounding captioned matter should be prepared and sub-
mitted to FBIHQ for approval. This synopsis will then be
included in the all SAC airtel and will be afforded inter-
ested newspapers as a lead-off story in the printing of

It is imperative for this program to be at all

Re memo of SA| | 5/14/76 P6
Contact made withl Jj Longview Daily News Largest
newspaper (circulation 26,000) in Longview RA territory on 5/27/76.
[_|stated while his paper was willing to coonerate in the b6
venture of publishing serial numbers of NORJAK bills he felt the BIC

cost was prohibitve since such a nublication would probably take a
full nage in the newenaper, However he stated that when and if
definite plans are made by the FBI re the publication his naper
would consider putting in the numbers on a one time basis.

He made available to the writer a vaste up sheet which is
what is used to set stories, articles ete. in the paner and said
this could possibly assist the Bureau in determining size of a
page and content,

%ne other newsnaper in PA terrotory is Dail Chronicle,
Centralia, Washington and they stated they also would have to have
more information on Format, size of item to be published etc. hefore
definite answer could be given.

Itbis supgested that the paste un sheet be used for placing
therein the serial numbers which could then be made available to
RAs for further contacts with newsnapers, masazines etc..

The writer received the distinct impression in aabove newspaper
contacts that papers, looking at the loss of possibly one or two
pages for publication of the numbers would re t eticent to publish

the enclosed lists were disseminated as -suggested in referenced

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portlarid,

At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight

was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated
to the. stewardess that his brief case contained
a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36

When the aircraft landed

at Seattle, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with

his instructions,

After he received the parachutes

and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and

the two airline stewardesses to deplane.

the plane landed to refuel.

He then ordered the ramaining crew members

into the first-class section of the aircraft and

informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly
direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed

which would enable the rear door of the plane to be
opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where

It was determined the

hijacker, two parachutes, and the ransom money had
disappeared when the plane was inspected at Reno

With regard to the FBI's request for space to run

this if the entire article, including the list of serial numbers,

page. [_|Jstated that should the printing of the serial
numbers take an extensive amount of space to set forth, it

that, should the article be of reasonable size, he would co-
ordinate having the article printed in the Yakima Herald-Republic

del Rey in October, 1970, settling into a berth at Fort
Eauderdiie, Florida, after cruising down the Mexican
coastline, through the Panama Canal and exploring the
coastline of Venezuela and Colombia and the islands of the
British West Indies and the Bahamas aboard the 54-foot
wocden yawl which had won the 1926 Bermuda Race with
designer Alden at her helm and a schooner rig.

"Malabar V1i," one of a dozen and a half boats personally
owned by Alden at faunching, was offered for sale by the
Streeches who left her in Fort Lauderdale and returned to the
West Coast, Dan to Dana Point where he began selting boats,
and his dad to the family home in Arizona.

"This man who cafled himself Mike Selzer decided to buy
our boat," Dan said, 'and he'd looked at a tot of boats. He
may have bought ours because we were willing to take his
camper as a trade-in, 'This was about two months after
Cocper had made his getaway from the airplane.

"Selz:r drave his camper to my folks' home in Arizona, and
they spent a 'lot of time visiting before he took off for Florida,
My dad says Selxer mentioned he had worked as a smoke
jumper."

Six weeks after Selzer delivered the camper "nearly new,
witn only 7,000 miles on it," Dan said the FBI, turned up at
the Streech bome "and the agents said the man we Ienew as
Salzer fitted the deseription of Cuoper pertectly. The F.B.E
ren alse siid some of the money Cooper bailed out with had
turned uy in Las Vegas."

"Malahar VII" with new owner Mike Selzer has never

BACK PACKING IN FRENCH POLYNESIA

Dan wes 0a his way to the Tahiti airport after three weeks
of hiking around the islands of Tahiti, Moorea. Huahine,
Raiatea ard Bora Bora with a back pack. He'd gone from one
island to z.nother as a passenger on the copra boat '"Yapora
Ill," hiking days and sleeping nights'ca Ue beaches. He said
the land-crabs didn't chew on hirn (the local rumor that keeps
visitors fram camping on the, beaches) and very few mosquitos
took a bite: "I was taking Vitamins B i2 and B 6 and I
understand if you do that, the mosquitos aren't interested.
Anyway, I enly got one or two bites a day."

He spent about $300 in three weeks (plus $750 round-trip
aic fare from Las Angeles} and most of the places where he
camped were near native huts "and the Tahitians brought me
food." He recalled buying "mostly bread, with lots of peanut
butter and jefly." 7

in his back pack: a sleeping bag, a bedshect, swim fins and
mask, Stcrno and freeze-dried food, one pair of long pants,
one pair of cut-offs, a swim suit "and three or four shirts."

On Bora Bora, Dan spent two days reading a ship's log kept
by Hans Fleish "at the Oa Oa, or perhaps you spell ir Oahoa
Hotel. Haus caters to visiting yachts and has free hot showers
for boating people. Then be asks them to write about their
voyages in his log. Some people even draw pictures, I couldn't

Zhe best hotel-bargain has got to be a place in Tahiti near
Jawntown Papeete where you pay 150 francs (S2Z-T47 for a
room. Unless you want a door, then it's 200 francs.

Across from the cruising boats on Papecte's waterfront is
the Stewart Hotel (about $16), a favorite among cruising

people who want to get off their boats. At the opposite end af
the spectrum are the big glassy high-rise hotels. where you pay
$50 and more fo meet other tourists.

Ustumbled into a happy compromise: the aging Te Puna Be
Air, a hotel four miles outside Papeete frequented by
Americans and Europeans who visit Tahiti often. Quiet,
charming and inexpensive by Tahiti standards (about
$20-522), it's sandwiched between tvo American-style luxury
hotels and you can hike over to their white-sand beaches.

One of the charms of the Te Puna Bel Air is its
ineoasisteacies: | met four women from Sacramento who were
staying there and they had ro hot water {I did), I had a wasp
nest on my balcony (they didn't), they had ice in a refrigerator
{{ didn't) but I had a bottie of Scotch (they didn't), We pooled
pur resources and scon felt we had a fuxury suite.

Also, we met islard people who freat the hotel bar and
restatcant as a local hangout. Two of us explored a nearby
reat withi Amiatican seuba Givers who ve in 'Tahiti, and white
we evarlotod on the jurtwe, tley weul down iyu teet and
brougnt up black coral. .

Vhey calied ¢ coral whips, and it looked like wire
coa changers someone had straightened out. They said it sells
for about $360 a pound locally.

ISLAND-JIOPPING BY BOAT
: Inter-isiand freighters offer expeditions for visitors: one is a
§0-day trip wich steps at 116 islands and. atofis. and it costs
about $300. Fer the visitor on a brief vacation, Tohn Stegenga
of the schooner "Candide," four years out of Marina del Rey,
suggested this ore which he took: .

"The 'Timi Hani,' a 150 foot diesel freighter, feaves
Papeete every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. You sleep on deck with
other travelers, including many Tahitians who sing and dance
at night, and there are always people playing guitars.

"The freighter puts in a Huahini, Raiatea, 'ahaa and Bora
Bora and you go sshore and buy food at the Chinese grocery
stores that are always close to the docks. You cook on deck.

"The 'Timi Hani' brings you back to Papeete on Sunday or
Monday and you have spent about 700 francs ($10) plus
grocerics for a week-long tour of some of the most' beautiful
islands Tithe South Pacific." : "Kemenoemence

Re memo of SA} | 5/14/76.
On 6/8/76 ,| | "Bremerton

Sun", was advised of the plan, now being contemplated, to
offer a reward for any of the bait money turned in in con-
nection with this matter.

stated that that newspaper would be happy
to cooperate in the plan should it materialize and he raised
the question of how many bait bill numbers would have to be
published. He explained it would be very tedious, cumber-
some and expensive to print and publish the list of bait
bills if it was an extensive list. He explained that the
paper has an offset printing press and that if the FBI
could furnish an offset proof publishing the list of serial

'numbers would be simple and involve little or no expense to

the newspaper.

He reiterated that his paper would be happy to
cooperate in the plan if and when it materializes.

RECOMMENDATION

If the plan as set out in re memo is initiated, it

is recommended that "offset proofs", be prepared in advance

to facilitate publication of the bait bills.

It is noted that the "Bremerton Sun" is the leading
newspaper on the Olympic Peninsula and covers all of Kitsap
and Jefferson Counties.
