NORJAK.
RE SEATTLE NITEL MAY THIRTY LAST.
SEARCH OF THE AREA WHERE ORIGINAL PARACHUTE REMNANT WAS DISCOVERED BY [REDACTED] REVEALED ADDITIONAL PIECES OF PA- RACHUTE HARNESS. ALL OF THESE REMNANTS WERE EXAMINED TODAY BY EARL J. COSSEY, MASTER PARACHUTE RIGGER, WHO PERSONNALY MADE UP ALL FOUR OF THE PARACHUTES FURNISHED TO THE HIJACKER IN THIS CASE. HE STATED TTHE REMNANTS DEFINITELY ARE NOT FROM ANY OF THE CHUTES HE PREPARED. THIS ELIMINATION IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE STRAPS ARE A DIFFERENT COLOR; THAT ONE OF THE STRAPS HAS HAD A PIECE HAND SEWN TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF THE STRAP AND FURTHER THAT THE HARNESS IS EQUIPPED WITH A "CAPEWELL" QUICK RELEASE DEVICE, WHICH WAS NOT ON EITHER OF THE BACK PACKS FURNISHED TO THE HIJACKER.

COSSEY HAS MORE IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOUR PARACHUTES MENTIONED ABOVE SINCE HE ACTUALLY ASSEMBLED THEM FROM THE COMPONENTS AND THEN FURNISHED THE TWO BACK PACKS TO [REDACTED] b6 b7C HE THEREFORE IS IN THE BEST POSSITION TO IDENTIFY THESE CHUTES. SINCE COSSEY HAS POSITIVELY ELIMINATED THE ABOVE MENTIONED REMNANTS AS BEING IDENTICAL WITH ANY PART OF THE CHUTES FUR- NISHED TO THE HIJACKER, THE REMNANTS ARE NOT BEING FURNISHED TO THE LABORATORY.
