[REDACTED] was then exhibited a "Facial Identification Catalog," depicting various types of heads, eyes, etc., and thereafter picked the following identified photos as being best representative in her opinion, of the hijacker: Head - KA3-9, Eyes - unknown, Eyebrows - OC1-10, Nose - OD4-1, mouth KE9-11, Chin KF3-17, Ears - KG1-12, Cheek and cheekbone - OH1-9, Hair KJ1-1.

[REDACTED] was subsequently exhibited a facsimile copy of an artist's conception, based on information furnished to the artist by Stewardess [REDACTED] Her first comment upon viewing this drawing was, "That's him"; however, she later made the following suggestions, which in her opinion would make the drawing a closer likeness to the hijacker: the man depicted is too young; the hair-line is good, but the hair should be thinner. His ears were slightly smaller in the fleshy area, and not so squared off. The nose should be thinner. Mouth - bottom lip is good but not quite so wide; more hollow below cheekbone and jaw. Chin possibly smaller.

In addition to the above, [REDACTED] had made the following additional comments concerning the hijacker:
---
His clothing consisted of dark pants, white shirt, black or dark tie, coat dark, and wore black horn-rimmed colored glasses. He looked very clean cut, was a very heavy smoker, no noticeable accent, very soft spoken, and he did not impress her as being athletically inclined.
