ALPA PRESSES FOR ACTION ON MID-AIR COLLISIONS
Pointing to a "needless slaughter" resulting from 70 mid-air collisions of U. S. airliners in the past 25 years, ALPA urged congressional action to make collision avoidance equipment a mandatory requirement for all aircraft operating in government-controlled airspace.
In testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Aviation on Dec. 1, the Association emphasized the in- creasing hazards of mid-air accidents. A study made by the Department of Transportation, ALPA said, projected that by 1980 there would be approx- imately 10 mid-air collisions occur- ring each year. In 1971, there were four such tragedies.
ALPA recommended two govem- ment actions that should be taken im- mediately to reduce or eliminate the mid-air collision hazard:
"The first of these requires on im- mediate decision on the part of the U. S. government that the use of an ade- quate collision avoidance system or proximity warning indicator should be made mandatory for every aircraft
operated within controlled airspace. | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf#page=64 | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf |

Interpreted Article IX, Section 4A (1) of the By-Laws to provide that a 10% dues discount will be applicable only to prepaid annual dues amount if the prepayment is less than the total dues owed for the year.
Conferred a Commendation Award of appreciation for exceptional perfor- mance as a pilot member of the Associ-
ation upon Captain E. M. Long, Fly- ing Tiger Council 98, who on Dec. 3, 1971, completed a solo 28-day around- the-world flight covering 36,000 miles in 215 flying hours in his twin-engine Piper Navajo, setting eight world re- cords including first flight around the world landing on all seven continents, first solo flight around the world at the poles, and first flight crossing the Equator at both the prime and 180th meridians.
Noted that the finance charge on loss of license semiannual premium pay- ments has caused concern and misun- derstanding and instructed the Retire- ment & Insurance Committee to explain to ALPA membership, through the PILOT BULLETIN, the necessity for the finance charge.
Adopted the 1972 budget, with conditions, including Executive Com- mittee review and restrictions on re-
ducing individual MEC budgets. | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf#page=67 | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf |

Although it is noted approximately 40 percent of the nation's parachutists are licensed, this could conceivably be a worthwhile lead for office of origin in this matter.
Phoenix will attempt to conduct appropriate investi- gation to ascertain the location of the list for licensed parachute riggers.

"I regret it for myself, but not for Brian," who, he said, has enjoyed all the attention.
Brian and his family made national headlines after a family outing on a Columbia River beach near Vancouver Feb. 10 turned into a major media and FBI event. Brian was preparing 'a campfire when he scooped out about $5,000 of the $200,000 Cooper had demanded and received before jumping out of an airliner in 1971.

Tanner, vice president of U-Cart Concrete Systems Inc. of Vancouver, where Ingram is employed, said the company is behind him. Tanner, a lawyer, said he will represent Ingram without charge.
Until the charges against him are dropped, Ingram faces an April 17 identification? hearing in Clark County District Court.

No money, no fish Treasure hunters fail to find more Cooper loot
VANCOUVER, Wash: (AP) When the fellas gather at Tena Bar. fisti stories abound. Hardly anyone wents to talk about the: D:B. Cooper money that got away
Tena Bar isn't a local watering hole, It's a local fishing hole -and the sand bar on the Columbia River on which the D.B. Cooper loot was found recently
For awhile, all sorts of people gathered at the bar to search for some of the $200,000 ranson money taken by Cooper in the nation's first hijacking-for-profit nine years ago after a boy found weathered packets of $20 bills in the sand.
On Wednesday, however, the only evidence of last week's frantic search of the beach by FBI agents were mounds of sand turned up by the searchers

Holcomb was fishing there with Virgil Nichols and Ken Troupe, both of Vancouver. The trip made up the entire fishing pobidiation of fena Bar on Wednesday.
"We drag junk out of this river every day. Plastic, old shoes, things like that. " said Nichols. "But never any money.

Schreuder and other agents at the site said they still supported the long- held FBI theory that Cooper died in his parachuting attempt.
"He's probably not alive today," Schreuder said. "If he were, I think he'd be with his money."
The FBI initially was cautious about disclosing the precise location of the discovery. Operators of the farm said they knew something was unusual when several cars streamed along a road leading through the farmyard to the beach.
"We didn't know what it was about until we heard it on the radio," said one farm employee.
And three fishermen who routinely spend every day but Sundays fishing on the beach initially were confused and, then angry,
"These guys wouldn't tell us what was going on," said Ken Davenport of Vancouver. "They asked us to move, but wouldn't tell us who they were or
why."
Another fisherman, Mike Haddican of Vancouver, said they knew some- thing was up "because everybody was getting out of cars with shovels instead, of fishing poles,"

Palmer, to the surprise of some authorities, concluded that the money was deposited on the beach in the past year or two because it was above clay deposits put on the beach in a 1974 channel dredging operation.
According to the FBI, a coarse layer of sand sloped from a height of about six inches at the river's edge to two feet or more some distance up the river bank.
Earlier, Ralph Himmelsbach, a Portland FBI agent who has had charge of following new leads in the Cooper case for a number of [years, said he believed the money must have been deposited within a couple of years after the skyjacking.
He says discovery of the money provided a major break in the case, but puts authorities no closer to locating Cooper, whom Him- melsbach believes is dead.
Agents say the money was tied to Cooper when he bailed out of the plane, but was no longer with him when it was deposited on the beach.

If no more money is found, the . FBI's digging on the beach will end today, Moore said.
But he expressed the belief that the departure of the FBI will not end the sifting through this strip of sand. "After we leave, probably 2.500 people will digging here the next day," he said.

FBI agents digging in search of more clues 1
By Bud May The Daily News
PORTLAND -- An 8-year-old boy . accomplished with a sweep of his hand Sunday something the FBI has been trying to do for more than eight years.
Brian Ingram, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Dwayne Ingram of Van- couver, provided the first major breakthrough in the D.B. Cooper skyjacking case when he accidental- ly uncovered part of the $200,000 ran- som Cooper had when he bailed out of a Northwest Airlines jet in the Lewis River | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf#page=205 | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf |

His wife, Barbara, said she felt "kinda sick" not finding it. But she added that she would have turned it in. "Somebody could have lost it," she said.
The beach property actually belongs to the Hans Egger family of Vancouver. A baby sitter at the home said the Eggers were on vacation in California. They learned the money had been found on their property when they listened to a television newscast Tuesday night.
"They were shocked," said the baby sitter.

How it all started
On Nov. 24, 1971, a calm, middle-age man calling himself Dan Cooper bought a ticket for a Northwest Airlines flight to Seattle.
Shortly after takeoff, he handed a note to stewardess Florence Schaffner.
Thinking the man was try- ing to "hustle" her, she stuff- ed the note in her purse, but he motioned for her to read it.
The note said he had a bomb, and wanted to go to Mexico.
While the jet circled Seattle before landing, the skyjacker also ordered that $200,000 cash and four parachutes be brought to the plane. | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf#page=208 | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf |
file-cooper_d_b_part070_pdf-636F6F7065725F645F625F706172743037302E706466-page-354 | He was advised of the amount as well as the fact that the reward would vary with the portion of ransom money recovered. The individual then said "that don't sound like enough, "and hung up.
The above information is being provided for in- formation purposes only. It is SA opinion that the individual who called quite possibly was not the hijacker because of his use of poor English and obvious lack of a formal education.

RE: RANSOM MONEY
On 3/15/72 the Seattle Police Department advised that they had received an anonymous call that two $20 bills had been passed, apparently that evening,
.
On 3/15/72 , when advised of the above information stated that to his knowledge no such money had been passed and readily made available from his cash registers and his safe, the only $20 bills he had in his establishment. There were four in number and a check of these against the ransom list reflected none to be identical.
also stated that he knew of no one from :unselected: b6 b7C
who might have made such a call and neither he nor the people working r observed anyone using the pay phone to make such a call.

On 12/10/71 I called SA HENRY SHUTZ at the Bureau.
I told him we were contacting a number of daily newspapers, urging them as a public service to publish serial numbers of the bills taken in this case. I suggested that as an economic matter it might be more desirable to have the Bureau prepare a mat containing these numbers, which could be distributed to newspapers and used by them as a means of printing and thereby, hopefully, be able to encourage more to print the list.
I talked to SA BLAND about this matter and he advised that it would have to be initiated by the investiga- tive division.
SA SHUTZ called me back on 12/10/71 and advised they were exploring the possible costs of this matter and would let us know Monday.
In the meantime I had talked to of the SEATTLE P-I, and to of the SEATTLE TIMES, inquiring of them if as a public service would they be interested in publishing the list. Both advised it would be considered and they would let us know. | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf#page=295 | cooper_d_b_part070.pdf |

Dear Senator Jackson ::
case return to SENATOR HENRY M. JACKSON
Your staff may scream not to touch this request with. a ten foot pole,, but as a former prosecutor yow might have an answer forthcoming ..
Ask the C. F.A .. (Central Intelligence Agency)) if they or any of their operating companies have ever trained pilots,, personnel to fly Boing 2727's in low level flight dropping personell and supplies in other inaccessible places ..
Ask them how many-pilots they have thus trained ??
Ask them how many of these men have returned to private life?"
Ask them if they ever used these places to drop- Taiwan personnel' over south China?"
This has to do with the $200,,000 hijacking of a 727 ...
In Sept .. on a 727 Northwest Orient flight from Minneapolis to Seattle,, with a seat partner from Miles City To Missoula,, who said he had flown a 727 "for the military" and madenumerous low level' drops of personnel and supplies. Had he ever jumped from a 727?" "Yes, we all had to jump.in training .. It was a hell of a thrill. | cooper_d_b_part017.pdf#page=63 | cooper_d_b_part017.pdf |
