Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D.C. 20535

Dear Mr. Hoover:

The work of the FBI and its personnel was truly outstanding during the November 24 hijacking of Northwest's Portland-Seattle flight.

We wish to express our sincere thanks and admiration for the tireless efforts of the FBI officials and agents who worked and assisted us.

All of your personnel demonstrated a devotion to duty that was most impressive. Many of them worked around the clock with our people, providing valuable guidance and direction.

Our special thanks go to those agents with whom we were in direct and continuing contact. This group includes agents J. Earl Milnes and Paul Bibler in Seattle, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in Portland, Harold E. Campbell, Jr. and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in Las Vegas/Reno and Richard Held, Robert Kent, [REDACTED] here in the Twin Cities.

I'm certain there a number of other FBI personnel who operated behind the scenes who also deserve our sincere appreciation.

In closing, let me extend my personal thanks to your organization for the outstanding service it

Sincerely,

[signature] Donald W. Nyrop
