Re Portland airtel to Bureau dated 12/2/71 .

Enclosed for laboratory are original letter and envelope received 12/3/71, by Manager of Portland International Airport, Portland, Oregon. The letter is signed "D. B. COOPER" and is apparently a hoax.

One xerox copy of the letter and envelope is being furnished Seattle.

REQUEST OF THE LABORATORY

Process the enclosures for latent fingerprint im- pressions. Note that envelope has been handled by many persons but letter has been protected and not handled since time of opening of envelope.

Results of examination should be furnished Seattle and Portland and submitted items may be returned to Portland registered mail upon conclusion of examination.
