At 2:35 PM, today SRA THOMAS J. MANNING, Longview RA, telephonically contacted the writer and furnished the following information:
At approximately 2:20 PM today SA MANNING received an anonymous call at the Longview RA from an individual who according to MANNING, spoke as an intelligent individual. This person asked MANNING what the reward in the "D.B. COOPER" case amounted to. MANNING related what the reward in this case is, whereupon the caller stated, "That's not enough" and hung up.
At approximately 2:23 PM, the same individual re- contacted MANNING at the RA and stated that he has observed the lower portion of a human body hanging from a parachute stating that he can see this through binoculars from his residence. SA MANNING encouraged the caller to give him more information but the caller refused to say anything more except that he would be into the Longview RA in about an hour and a half with some physical evidence in the captioned case.
I asked MANNING if he had any idea who the caller might be and MANNING said his voice sounds familiar. Further that the caller stated he knows MANNING by sight and in fact has been interviewed by MANNING in the RA.
SA MANNING was relating the above information to me in the event this materializes and it is necessary to saturate the area with Agent personnel for a search of the terrain.
