On 12/10/71, flight records for the month of August 1971 were photographed at the Elsinore center. These records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude from which they jumped, the name of the pilot and the date.

Review of these flight records on 12/14-15/71 re- vealed that the last names on these records matched thirty one individuals whose descriptions matched those of the hijacker and jumped from the Elsinore center during the month of August 1971. It was noted that the last name on the flight record does not mean that the jumper was the person whose registration card was pulled and photographed. It should also be pointed out that there were 29,140 parachute jumps made from the Elsinore center during the year 1970. The total number of jumps at the center for the year 1971 exceeds last year's total and will be in excess of 30,000 this year.

On 12/16/71, [REDACTED] picked out eight of the remaining thirty one cards stating he personally knows these individuals and they do not remotely resemble the artist's conception. The remaining twenty three cards represented individuals [REDACTED] does not know or the name was familiar but he could not recall what the man looked like.

---

On 12/20/71, [REDACTED] reviewed the remaining registration cards and eliminated eight more based on personal knowledge of the individual and the fact they are known to the center and do not re- semble the artist's conception.

Following are the registration cards from the Elsinore center bearing the name, address and telephone number of jumpers who are unknown to [REDACTED] and/or the jump center:
