Dear Sirs:

I am writing to your office regarding a possible suspect in the "D.B. Cooper" case of a few years before. I have given much thought to how much "Mr. Cooper" was alike in many respects to [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D]. Although in my opinion, it is highly unlikely that he is the person sought, I nevertheless am furnishing the following information for your follow- through, and request that my name be left out of any resulting inves- tigations:

a. [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D] b. Army trained parachutist c. Identical build to that of "D.B. Cooper" more or less d. Habitually wore tinted glasses e. [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D] in Washington state, Longview, Washington in [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D] f. Last known to be stationed within the Washington, D.C. area inso- far as known.

Yours very truly,

[REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D]
