On 3/21/72, telephonic contact was made withl

mation sought, and when advised, related as follows:

cerned itself with ; at which time each person

in attendance speaks for a very brief, timed period on a
designated topic which has not previously been announced.
The topic on this occasion was what a person would do with

the money if he had been 'D.B. COOPER", the allegedly suc-
cessful skyjacker.

When spoke, he created a fictitious person
who he related invested $200,000 in blocks of $20,000 at a
time in municipal bonds. To achieve convincing effect, he
had the person reside in the Amboy, Washington area which is
near the point at which the Unsub in this matter parachuted,

emphasized that the above anecdote is entirely false,
and that he has no actual information indicating any possible
suspects in this matter. He expressed complete cooperation
with the Bureau in any matters, and promised to notify this
office of any pertinent information which he may receive.

No further action recommended.

'Cavalry calied into hunt

for hijacker Cooper

An intensive search connected with
the Nov. 24 disappearance of a skyjack-
er-parachutist identified as Dan Cooper
is being carried out from the Merwin
Dam area southeast of Kelso, Wash.,
by Army troops from Ft, Lewis, Wash.,
and FBI agenis.

Portiand and Seattle FBI offices re-
fused to confirm or deny the intent of
the search, and would not say whether
they had new information on Cooper
and the $200,000 he took with him.

Merwin Dam area residents said
agents are housed in Kelso and Long-
view, Wash., and that the troops are
from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regi-
ment, at Ft, Lewis.

The troops appeared Monday. Area
residents said they were told Merwin
Park would be blocked off for the rest
of the week,

Residents said a pass was required
to enter the park, which is in the area

where the skyjacker is presumed to
have vanished, taking $200,000 in ran-
som money with him.

The Northwest Airlines 727 jet was
commandeered between Portland and
Seattle last November. The skyjacker
picked up the money and two para-
chutes in Seattle, and is believed to
have bailed out of tie jet over South- |

west Washington in the area now being
searched.

A long search after the incident
turned up nothing.

Some 200 troops and an unspecified

number of helicopters are in the area, |

a Ft. Lewis spokesman said.

The troops are headquartered at -

Camp Bonneville, 15 miles northeast of .
Vancouver. The helicopters are operat-
ing from Merwin Park.

Residents in the area said FBi

_ agents had been coming around asking
: for permission to search the premises
: and land for "a satchel, brief case, :

parachute and person of Dan Cooper."

Outbuildings have been searched, but
apparently the search of wooded areas
is just getting under way. The first con- '
tingent of FBI men was on the scene at
least as early as Saturday.

An Oregonian reporter found the en- ,
trance to Merwin Park guarded by the '
FBI Tuesday night, and was refused |
adinittance. He was able to discern at °
least nine helicopters parked there.

SUBJECT : ORJAK
Al | Salem, Oregon,
telephone| |) called ASAC PAUL R. BIBLER of this
office, a is home on 3/24/72. She stated that she had

hiked up into the hills, about 11 miles east of Lebanon,
Oregon, on some property owned by Georgia Pacific. As she
approached the area where an old mill formerly stood, she

saw some fresh cut daffodils. Subsequently she found a

place where a creek had been dammed and a very small tent had
been ~vected, partially hidden by some cedar trees. She
observed a sleeping bag and a three pound coffee can and

got the impression that this camp had been there for some
time. She said the area is not a camp site and no one should
be camping there and she thought of the fugitive in this
case,

It is suggested Portland reinterview her to
determine if there is any reason to feel the camp she saw
is connected with this situation and if necessary, check
cut the occupant of the camp.

with two members of the Orogon State Police (OSP). She had
asked the OSP to accompany her because on the first visit
she had observed a tent and bits of paraphernalia to indicate
someone was living at the abandoned home site. The land is
presently owned by the Georgia Pacific Company, and you are
supposed to have permission before you can enter the area,
The sccond trip was on 3/25/72, and as on the first occasion,
she did not observe the individual who was living at the

old homestead. The OSP dotermined that one porson was
living in a tent with no items of identification located.

FBI File No. 164-2111

Re: NORJAK Lab. No. D-720411007 LL

Specimens received 4/10/72

Q40 Envelope postmarked "JACKSONVILLE FLA. MAR 28 5 PM
1972" bearing typewritten address "The Portland Orégonian
Newspaper Portland, Oregon"

Q41 Accompanying one-page letter dated 3/28/72, beginning
""Phis letter is too..." and ending "A Rich Man"

Result of examination:

No indented writing was found on Q40 and Q41. No
watermarks were found on Q40.

The watermark "Millers Falls Ezerase Cotton Content"
appears on Q41. This is a watermark of the Millers Falls
Paper Company, Millers Falls, Massachusetts 01349.

The typewriting on 940 and Q41 most closely matches
an Underwood style of elite type. This type is used on all
models of Underwood typewriters and may be used on typewriters
bearing names other than Underwood.

No connection could be established between 940, 941,
and the specimens submitted previously in this case.

Q40 and Q@41 were photographed and will be returned
separately.

[,_ Ores —

April 12, 1972

J, Edgar Hoover, Director
FBI,
Washington, D.C.

Honorable Str;

Shortly after 6:30 P.M, on April 10 I placed a
long distance call to the Regional Office of the
F.B.I. in Portland. The cali was answered by a

who turned the call over to a after
I had stated my reasons for placing the call.

Briefly,|
on the Oregon Coast I recently (Mar 23)

|}to a certain party and

this subsequent actions have raised doubts in my
mind.

(1). He carried on his person a large sum of
money-al] in $2000 bills,

(2), Each time-he made a purchase - no matter =
how small~such as 2 packages of cigarettes (70¢) it
Was with a $20°° bill and he never spent the change
or smaller bills. Each purchase was paid with a "new"!
$2009 bill and the pattern was repeated again.

(3) He did not want to be alone and, if he
could, would get me or someone else to make his
purchases with one of his $20°° bills.

Result of examination:

The bills represented by Q43 were compared with
corresponding bilis represented by K4. In the comparison,
photographic overlays of the 943 bills showed the serial
numbers on these bills to be- out of register with the serial

numbers on the K4 bills.

The examination definitely determined that the O43

that these are ordinary people with an extraordinary amount
