Unknown subject, aka Dan Cooper, allegedly a heavy smoker of Raleigh filter-tip cigarettes. Search of plane involved in NORJAK conducted at Reno, Nevada, revealed eight Raleigh cigarette butts found near unsub's location. Unsub was on the plane eight hours under extremely tense and nervous conditions. A normal "two pack-a-day" smoker consumes 2.5 cigarettes per hour average. Unsub, under stress condi- tions, consumed 1 cigarette per hour average.

On the possibility that unsub may save Raleigh coupons and redeem them regularly, the following lead is set forth:
