Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan DB COOPER-47231

In regards to "D. B. Cooper" who hijacked the North- west Orient Airlines 727 on the night of November 24, 1971, I have the following information:

There is a man named Coovert who works as a Driver's Examiner for the state in Gresham, Oregon. The man fits the physical description and wears dark glasses most of the time. After the time of the hijacking he has become very much less sociable. The man's history has been somewhat unstable as far as employment, which includes work in a bank. The above information is hearsay but was convincing enough to be very believable in addition to other information I cannot ac- curately remember enough to convey correctly.
