Re San Francisco airtel to Seattle dated 9/12/77
and Legat, Ottawa, letter to the Bureau dated 10/11/77.

For the information of the Bureau and Legat,
Ottawa, on August 18, 1977, LANGSETH was interviewed
in Cupertino, California. He initially consented to
answer questions, but later declined based on the advise
of his attorney. Prior to terminating the interview,
LANGSETH advised that he would be willing to assist in
any way in this investigation and would consent to taking
a polygraph examination if desired.

LANGSETH has been thoroughly investigated in this
matter, however, his exact location on November 24, 1971, is
unknown. During that week he supposedly was in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, working for Abco, Inc., as a salesman.
However, a review of his daily sales reports indicate
numerous fictitious contacts in that the establishments
do not exist or the persons contacted do not exist and
all those institutions contacted which were listed and
could be identified denied knowing LANGSETH. It was
thought at the time the daily reports were reviewed that
LANGSETH was merely falsifying his daily report to cover
up non-work related activities or that his daily reports
which were made up by LANGSETH after the fact were simply

Toronto-Dominion Bank, Toronto, Canada, these funds LANGSETH
alleged to be received from relatives in that area. b6
stated that these regular payments from the Toronto-Dominion b7C

Bank could easily amount up to $200,000 plus.

Further review of records available, San Jose, Calif.,
indicate that JASON THOMAS LANGSETH, born 8/3/34, opposed a
to 8/3/44, as reflected in Seattle communication, 4/21/77.
In view of this fact, the age at the time of the commission of
the crime would be more close to the suggested mid-forties
age of the hijacking.

In view of the adamant feeling on the part of
and the discrepancy in the age as reflected in Los Angeles
interview, 2/9/72, and information available San Jose, Calif.,
reflecting he is, jin fact, ten years older, it is believed
that a reinterview of LANGSETH, and providing him an oppor-
tunity to take a polygraph examination would be appropriate.

_ forts to obtain additional information concerning

He advised that he had been close friends with Langseth and
Langseth indicated on several occasions that he was interested
in committing the perfect crime. He further confirmed the
information he had concerning banking at Toronto Dominion
Bank, Toronto, Canada, and in fact, Langseth had received

funds over the years which, if totaled, would have amounted

to in excess of $200,000.

[meal Stated he was aware of the fact that
Langseth ha een previously interviewed by the FBI, but

he stated that photographs, the fact that Langseth was an
expert paratrooper, and had done considerable night diving
prior to the hijacking, led him to believe that Langseth was,
in fact, identical to the hijacker.

It should be noted the Langseth was, in fact, inter-
viewed by the FBI, Los Angeles, California, in February, 1972.
Langseth at that time was described as a white male, 5'10" to
6'0", 165 pounds, medium build, hair black, eyes blue, born

August 3, 1944, place of birth Borger, Texas, former paratrooper,

U.S. Military.

Investigation conducted by the FBI and display of
photograph to eye-witnesses at the incident could not identify
Langseth as being identical to the subject in this matter.

It should be noted, however, that investigation to confirm

Langseth's presence during November, 1971, was unsuccessful.

In view of the apparent discrepancy between LANGSETH's
age at the time of the hijacking, i.e. 27 years old, and the
age UNSUB was thought to be at the time of the hijacking, that ;
of approximately 45 years old, no further investigation will

Re Suspect: |

Photos of the captioned individual were previously
displayed to witnesses in this matter and he was not found
identical or similar to the hijacker. He is described by
associates as a blond headed, blue eyed, light to medium
complexioned, Caucasian male and not Latin in appearance.

Based on the above, it would not appear he should be
considered as a likely suspect, however, in view of his highly
unusual activities and the results of recent extensive invest-
igation at Los Angeles, it would appeac investigation is
'warranted to positively eliminate him as a suspect in this matter
and to ascextain if he is the subject of any other crimes,
