OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.6 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) DATE: 12/3/71

FROM : ASAC PAUL R. BIBLER [signature]

SUBJECT: UNSUB, aka Dan Cooper; NW AIRLINES FLIGHT #305, PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION

---

SA [REDACTED] called from Minneapolis. He just finished a conference with NW Airlines people in regard to the possibility of an individual hiding behind one of the inspection panels inside the fuselage of the airplane. He has been told by NW people that this is virtually impossible and that access is possible only to a contortionist unless the stairway is all the way down as it would be in the flight position.

[REDACTED] says he cannot find out from NW if they have actually inspected these areas in the plane and said the plane would be coming into Seattle as Flight 735 at 5:26PM, 12/4/71. It will be in Seattle overnight and we can arrange with NW to have it inspected at that time.

[REDACTED] reiterated that NW people told him this was almost 100% impossible.
