At 6:15 AM, on November 29, 1971, SA JAMES BLAND at the Bureau called. He advised that the UPI, AP and many of the eastern newspapers were carrying stories in this matter, quoting SA MANNING, the Agent in charge at the search scene, as having said "The man has to be a professional sky diver or he is crazy". Another quote is to the effect "If he was wearing street clothes he would obviously be injured", which is attributed to MANNING. He advised they expected a teletype from us as a result of SA [REDACTED] call on November 27.

I told him that [REDACTED] did not request such a teletype and I did not offer one. I told him, however, that MANNING had been told not to make any remarks to the press and that the remarks described by him were common talk among the law enforcement officials and that the Sheriffs from Clark and Cowlitz had been interviewed extensively by the press, and that I was certain that MANNING had made no such remarks.

He requested a teletype about it.
