Thank you for your letter expressing interest in locating the missing $20 bills obtained by the hijacker, "D. B. Cooper", on Thanksgiving eve, 1971.
Due to the limited supply of ransom lists and the great demand for them, it is impractical as well as impossible to make copies of this list available to the public. | cooper_d_b_part073.pdf#page=216 | cooper_d_b_part073.pdf |

He was unable to look into the shelter to see what was contained therein and he did not remove any of the logs to examine it. He did notice a duffel bag hanging from a tree near by. This duffel bag had the name or the last name could be with Air Force number imprinted on the duffel bag. The bag appeared to be old and contained numerous tears and wear holes. He examined the contents of the duffel bag and discovered that it contained rifle bullets, long-handled men's underwear, shoe grease, candles, a jacket, vitamin pills, and some hippie-type smoking pipes,. | cooper_d_b_part073.pdf#page=291 | cooper_d_b_part073.pdf |

The friend indicated that a big deal had been set up two weeks prior, but was cancelled because of bad weather. He said there were three individuals involved and they needed one more. He indicated that one partner had backed out of the deal, and they needed a replacement. The friend indicated the group would make $200,000 and that this would be the biggest deal ever pulled in the northwest. As he left, he said. "You will read about this in all of the papers," He gave no details and never mentioned airplanes or hijacking. He stayed at the home approximately 1 1/2 hours, but said nothing specific about the type of job he had planned. On a previous contact the friend asked WEINZ if he would ever consider a job outside the 1 aw. WEINZ told him that he needed work and would consider anything.

SPECIAL NOTICE
PORTLAND - On November 24, 1971, a Northwest Orient Airlines, plane was hijacked between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.
The hijacker extorted $200,000 from Northwest Orient Airlines at the time he hijacked the aircraft and all the money was paid in $20 Federal Reserve Notes. Serial numbers of the currency have been recorded.
There is a good possibility the hijacker deposited part of the money to a savings account, exchanged $20 bills for other denominations, or paid off a debt in $20 | cooper_d_b_part092.pdf#page=366 | cooper_d_b_part092.pdf |

The Forum, sponsored by the Oregon Chapter of the American Savings and Loan Institute, highlighted ways in which people misuse the telephone and the calling party without even realizing it. This point was evidenced by a film titled "How to Lose a Customer, Without Even Trying."
The film showed how a firm lost an important customer through improper handling of the telephone and messages, and gave tips on how these bad circum- stances could have been avoided if hand- led properly.
It was felt by those in attendance that the contents of this particular Forum should be made available to all Savings and Loan personnel.
As a point of interest to Training Super- visors and Personnel Directors, Pacific Northwest Bell holds classes free of charge on each first and third Wednesday of the month from 10 - 11:30 a.m. These classes are on different phases of telephone use and telephone ettiquette and are held at 421 S.W. Oak, Portland, in Room 401.
If interested call one week in advance to make reservations for your personnel. The room holds 40 persons. For more information call 226-5725:

Legal Attache covering Costa Rica advises that an individual by the name of WAYNE KING is presently in Costa Rica. He has considerable amount of money. He generally answers the description of unsub hijacker and has stated that the FBI is looking for him in the States. WFO is endeavoring to get photographs of this individual through passport records. If photograph is located, the glossy will be flown from Washington to Seattle and Portland for showing of the photo to witnesses.
The Bureau has instructed interim effort be made to insure that we know the location of the two witnesses in this area in order that immediate showing of the photo will be possible.
There should be no problem in showing of the photo to the one witnes's who is an employee of NWAL. The second witnes's is presumed to be in Eugene. If so, arrangements should be made for Agents to drive the photo to Eugene or possibly have one of the Agents drive to Portland to receive the photo.
