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.

Memorandum
TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81)(P) DATE: 11/6/74
FROM : SC [REDACTED]
SUBJECT: NORJAK
---
On 11/5/74, [REDACTED], Seattle, Wash., came into this office and advised as follows:
[REDACTED] found a parachute in an old abandoned shack located in the woods near their house. The parachute, described as white nylon with the words "U. S. Navy" on it, and has a serial number on it (unrecalled by [REDACTED] what the number is), was found [REDACTED] about one year ago but was only discovered by [REDACTED] this past week when [REDACTED] asked to have it placed in his room. The parachute does not have a container with it, but was found in a box with rubber gloves and a plastic case.
---
The missing parachute in this case - the one apparently used by the UNSUB - is described as 28 feet, nylon, white, flight circular (non-stearable), which was packed in a model [guess: NB]r NB 6 (Navy back pack 6) container and harness. The file does not say if the chute or container had a serial number on it.
---
It is suggested steps be taken to determine if the parachute in the possession of [REDACTED] is identical to that used by the UNSUB. If it is not, the serial number should be checked in NCIC.
---
After discussing this matter with Supervisor [REDACTED] it was decided that if the parachute is not that one used by the UNSUB, or if it is negative in NCIC, [REDACTED] should be advised this office will contact Navy personnel (at Sand- point) and let them decide what action they want to take to recover the parachute, if they wish.
