If so, at what hour and date will it be effective? - What will be the effect of it? Will he be free from arrest and prosecution? Also, will the $200,000 become his, to spend freely and without further attempts of recovery by Federal, airline, bank or insurance agencies?
Am I correct that under a Minnesota Supreme Court 1975 ruling Northwest Airlines" insurance company reimbursed the airline for $180,000 of the $200,000? If so, why just $180,000? And, what was/is the status of the unreimbursed $20,000?
At the effective moment of the Statute of Limitations will your office and the FBI both "close' the case? Fully, or in what respects?
I understand that in seeking leads on the $200,000 your office, or FBI, circulated 34 pages of ransom note bill numbers. Have any of the bills appeared, anywhere?

On Bora Bora, Dan spent two days reading a ship's Iog kept by Hans Fleish "at the Oa Oa, or perhaps you spell it Oahoa Hotel. Hans caters to visiting yachts and has free hot showers! for boating people. Then he asks them to write about their! yoyages in his log. Some people even draw pictures. I couldn't stop reading about their experiences!"
A night at that hotel, with meals, is "about $20," Dan recalled. That's unusually reasonable in the outer islands, Where a room or bungalow may run as high as $95 a night and the average is about $50 with two meals.
DB Cooper-25403;The best hotel-bargain has got to be a place in Tahiti near downtown Papeete where you pay 150 francs ($2.14) for a room. Unless you want a door, then it's 200 francs.
Across from the cruisiny boats on Paneate's waterfront is the Stewart Hotel (about $10) ta favorite amongi cruising people Who want to get off their boats. At the opposite end of the spectrum are the big glassy high-rise hotels where you pay $50 and more to flieet other tourists.
I stumbled into a happy compromise: the aging Te Puna Be; Air, a hotel four miles outside Papeete frequented by Americans and Europeans who visit Tahiti | cooper_d_b_part061.pdf#page=204 | cooper_d_b_part061.pdf |

I stumbled 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-$22), it's sandwiched between two 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 inconsistencies: I met four women from Sacramento who were staying there and they had no hot water (I did), I had a wasp nest on my balcony (they didn't), they had ice in a refrigerator (I didn't) but I had a bottle of Scotch (they didn't). We pooled our resources and soon felt we had a luxury suite.
Also, we met island people who treat the hotel bar and restaurant as a local hangout. Two of us explored a nearby reef with American scuba divers who live in Tahiti, and while we snorkeled on the surface, they went down 190 feet and brought up black coral.
They called it coral whips, and it looked like wire coathangers someone had straightened out. They said it sells for about $300 a pound locally. | cooper_d_b_part061.pdf#page=205 | cooper_d_b_part061.pdf |

WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
I have been advised that I am being questioned concerning the hi- jacking of a Northwest Orient Airlines aircraft, Flight #305 from Portland, Or to Seattle, Washington, which occurred on 24 Nov 71. Q: Would you relate all assignments you have had from 1970 to the present?
A: In 1970 I was assigned to the 3/8th Cav at Coleman Barracks in Mannheim, Germany, until Apr 71. From May 71 until Jul 74 I was assigned to the US Army Recruiting Station in Everett, Washington. I was the Station Commander.
Q: Did you take a leave in November 1971. while assigned in Everett? A: No.
Q: Were you away from your station on Temporary Duty in Nov 71? A: No.
Q: Did you ever take a leave to Canada?
A: Yes. During the summer of 1973, I took a leave to Canada. I think it was for 18 days. My mother and father-in-law were visiting from Germany, therefore I took a leave to Canada. We only stayed there about three or four days.
Q: Are you a qualified parachutist?
A: Yes.
Q: To what degree are you a parachutist?
A: I am a novice parachutist. Military only. I have not practiced sports parachute jumping. | cooper_d_b_part045.pdf#page=76 | cooper_d_b_part045.pdf |

for the information of the Bureau and receiving offices, the Application for Work Card filled out by Jack Scott Jammer at Rono, Nevada, on 5/31/68, reflects that Farmer apparently utilized an alias of Jack Scott Ponticelli. He, also, listed as arrest in 1965 for "Possion" by the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, apparently at Tahoe City, . California. This arrest may have been for possession of an illegal substance, as Farmer received probation and a fine which he listed as a disposition. Due to the illegible copy received, further information concerning this arrest and use of the aka could not be determined.
