Re Seattle letter to San Francisco, 4/21/77, Legat, Ottawa airtel to the Bureau, 6/9/77.
[REDACTED] San Jose, California, interviewed [checkmark] re LANGSETH and information previously discussed with [REDACTED] Attorney at Law, San Jose, California. [checkmark]
[REDACTED] indicated he had known JASON THOMAS LANGSETH for many years and only recently did he become disenchanted with him for failure to repay some back debts.
[REDACTED] stated that in his opinion, LANGSETH is the individual who committed the hijacking, but he has no positive information, only bits and pieces of information which he had put together over the past few years.
He stated that LANGSETH is a trained paratrooper, and prior to the hijacking of the aircraft, LANGSETH had taken extensive training in night skydiving, had previous paratrooper training in the military, and was very knowledgeable about aircraft.
[REDACTED] advised that he had directly accused LANGSETH of being the individual who committed the hijacking and re- ceived little response. He stated he further knew for a fact

that LANGSETH had received on a regular basis funds from the Toronto-Dominion Bank, Toronto, Canada, these funds LANGSETH alleged to be received from relatives in that area. [REDACTED] stated that these regular payments from the Toronto-Dominion Bank could easily amount up to $200,000 plus.
Further review of records available, San Jose, Calif., indicate that JASON THOMAS LANGSETH, born 8/3/34, opposed to 8/3/44, as reflected in Seattle communication, 4/21/77. In view of this fact, the age at the time of the commission of the crime would be more close to the suggested mid-forties age of the hijacking.
---
In view of the adamant feeling on the part of [REDACTED] and the discrepancy in the age as reflected in Los Angeles interview, 2/9/72, and information available San Jose, Calif., reflecting he is, in fact, ten years older, it is believed that a reinterview of LANGSETH, and providing him an oppor- tunity to take a polygraph examination would be appropriate.
---
Efforts to obtain additional information concerning activities at the Toronto, Dominion Bank are being pursued by a separate communication.
