NORJAK (OO: SE)
Enclosed for Portland and Seattle is one copy each of a letter dated 4/3/74 signed by James M. Woodside, Sr., who indicates he believes one EDWIN G. (MAC) COOPER, who lives in the Portland, Oregon area, could be a suspect in captioned matter.
The enclosed letter is self-explanatory and it is believed that Woodside is talking about NORJAK even though he refers to it as the "United Air Lines Job".
