On 9/21/73, [REDACTED] Lakeside Motel, Woodland, Washington, made available for review the registration cards of the motel for November, 1971, for Unit #7. These cards reflected that on 11/9/71, a man who gave his name as LLOYD M. BARNEY, 206 "C" Street, Tenino, Washington, registered at the motel. He listed his business affiliation as Manson-Osberg Company, with no address for the company listed. His car license for a 1971 Ford pickup was listed as Washington, GA 4568. The registration cards reflected that he checked into the motel on 11/9/71, had another registration card dated 11/16/71, and a third on 11/22/71. The 11/22/71 card was for one week, and this indicated that his rent was up and he left the motel on 11/29/71.

This was observed and it was noted by the interviewing agent, SA THOMAS J. MANNING, that the blanket was the approximate size of a parachute. Further questioning of [REDACTED] failed to reveal any information concerning straps or other paraphernalia which a parachute would have. However, she pointed out that [REDACTED] also observed this "bag", or whatever it was, and probably observed it more closely than [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] also commented that some time after the hijacking, [REDACTED] did make a comment to her that the man in Unit #7 did resemble the hijacker's composite photograph. However, she did not call this to the attention of the FBI, for she felt there was nothing to the statement [REDACTED]
