What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

RE: PARACHUTE INFORMATION SUB D
Re Portland letter to Seattle, 12/11/73.
Referenced communication advised a parachute recovered from the woods in the Gopher Canyon area north of Sheridan, Oregon, was being transmitted separately by Greyhound Bus. This parachute was displayed to EARL COSSEY on 12/17/73 and at that time COSSEY stated it was not identical to the one he supplied UNSUB. COSSEY further advised that this parachute canopy was made of a twill material indicating that it was manufactured approximately 1945. COSSEY advised that the parachute UNSUB used was made of rip-stop material which was not invented until after 1945.
ARMED & DANGEROUS
