The similarities in the SALJAK and NORJAK cases are striking in that in both cases he asked for 2 back packs and 2 chest pack parachutes. In addition, he requested the UAL to give him his own luggage from the plane's cargo department i. before they departed, and his own parachute and jump suit, helmet and flares, together with 100 ft. of rope in his luggage. SAC CALAME speculates that the subject in the SALJAK case tied the money in his other effects, together, and when he was ready to leave the plane let them descent first, hung onto the rope, just before he landed dropped them and he could make the landing safely. In addition, he dropped 2 parachutes which they have not located. One parachute was located in Nevada and one near where he landed in Utah.

and advised that upon reading the newspaper accounts of the hijacking, which took place in Seattle on 11-24-71, he recalled to mand an individual he had 1971. He stated that
he returned to his office and checked his records which showed that an individual by the name of JAMES D. BOOTH was the individual he was thinking about who met the descrip- tion of the hijacker as set out in the newspaper accounts. He felt that it was particularly peculiar that the hijacker had used the name D. B. COOPER and felt that the similar initials in the name JAMES D. BOOTH might be significant. He advised that Mr. BOOTH took during the period 7/16-30/71. He avised Mr. BOOTH failed to pass the drivers test on 7-30-71 and was to return a week later to take another exam but did not appear. He stated that had had conversations with Mr. BOOTH on six or seven occasions and that BOOTH had men- tioned that he was a Marine Engineer and had worked his way up in the Merchant Marines to that position. He stated his records reflect that BOOTH was born 12-1-27, was 6' tall, 180 pounds, straight black hair and a light complexion. | cooper_d_b_part024.pdf#page=587 | cooper_d_b_part024.pdf |

At this time, BOOTH had given an address of Box 1116 Cut Bank, Montana. BOOTH's coast guard papers described him as qualified as a Fireman, Water tender, Oiler, Mess man, General Engineer and Deck Engineer. In June, 1964, BOOTH was issued a Chief Engineers license in San Francisco and he renewed this license in Seattle in June, 1969. This license entitled BOOTH to the rating of Chief Engineer: on steamwessels. BOOTH had Social Security Account Number 473-22-5691.
Attached hereto is a xerox copy of a form used by BOOTH when applying for his duplicate Z Number on 4-17-57 which shows samples of BOOTH's printing and his handwritten signature. CWO YOAST advised they were not in possession of a photograph of BOOTH.

I made an attempt to get in touch with the FBI in Medford in the first year after this had happened. I was told that the man handling it was in Port- land. At that time, I did not have a phone. I dropped it at that time.
Later on, however, I realized that the FBI was saying that they knew who the person was, but they did not know his name. I instructed my secretary, the woman who was writing letters for me, to turn the information over on to the FBI. She told me she took the letter and told the local FBI agent in Medford. I waited for some time and I never heard anymore about that. They never questioned me. I thought possibly they would.
