Dear Ms. Hauser:

RE: HIJACKING NORTHWEST AIRLINES Date of Loss: 11/24/71 Claim [REDACTED]

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you personally for your cooperation in furnishing information that has come to your office's attention concerning re- ferenced matter. I would suggest, however, that it might be more convenient for you to deal directly through our New York Office. Their telephone number and address are in your New York Telephone Directory. A copy of this letter is being forwarded to them so that they would be prepared to answer any inquiries you might have and also to receive any additional information concerning contact by individuals seeking reward for information that they might have.

In regard to Attorney [REDACTED] of Naples, Florida, the suspects suggested by his client has been thoroughly investigated and eliminated as a possible suspect in this matter.

My office is initiating investigation to determine if [REDACTED] of Oakland, California has any information of value which might help solve this baffling mystery.

Regarding [REDACTED] of Napa, California, the FBI is satisfied that the parachute found by [REDACTED] was not used in this crime.

Again, thank you for your letter of September 9, 1976. If in the future any information comes to your attention concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either my office or if it is more convenient the office of the FBI in New York City. Perhaps through our joint cooperation we will be able to bring this a matter to a successful conclusion.

Sincerely,
