SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE

Re Minneapolis airtel to Bureau and Seattle dated 5/21/76.

Enclosed for the Minneapolis Division is one copy of a list of ransom bills paid in air piracy case dated 11/29/71.

For the information of the Minneapolis Division, the enclosed lists were disseminated as suggested in referenced communication approximately five years ago. To date, none of the ransom bills have been discovered as a result of this dissemination.

It is not clear from information contained in referenced communication as to the insurance company's position concerning the new ransom proposals. Timing is critical if this new program is to be implemented; therefore, if anything is going to be done concerning these proposals, it must be done soon in order for all preliminaries to be completed prior to the planned publicity campaign in November of this year.

LEADS:

MINNEAPOLIS DIVISION

At Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport

Will recontact officials at Northwest Orient Air- lines and determine from them if they have any objection to the Bureau contacting their insurance company. In addition, Minneapolis should attempt to obtain from Northwest the name of the officials to contact with the insurance company as well as an indication as to how receptive the insurance company was to the new ransom proposals.

Minneapolis is also requested to verify the fact that Northwest Orient is still offering the reward publicized throughout the country to the fact that Northwest Orient Airlines would pay $25,000 for the return of the ransom money or 15% of any lesser portion of the ransom that was returned.
