[REDACTED], Minnesota, telephone number [REDACTED] was interviewed telephonically and furnished the following information:
He was contacted by a [REDACTED] (First Name Unknown) around the last week of March, 1977, and was asked by [REDACTED] to act as [REDACTED] about the hijacking. He informed [REDACTED] that permission from Northwest Orient Airlines (NWAL) must be obtained. He discussed the matter with the NWAL [REDACTED] (Last Name Unknown).
Minneapolis, Minnesota. [REDACTED] is supposed to have received [REDACTED] concerning [REDACTED]
NWAL,
[REDACTED] asked him to come to California the first week of April, 1977, to discuss [REDACTED] but he did not go. He stated that [REDACTED] advised him that he had permission and full cooperation from the FBI and Attorney General GRIFFIN BELL. [REDACTED] also informed him that a complete FBI file on the hijacking had been given to him from "the West Coast", but no specific office was mentioned. [REDACTED] thought this odd if the investigation was not closed. He thinks that [REDACTED] stewardess, NWAL, may
but did not state any specific connection with [REDACTED] obtaining any FBI file.
[REDACTED] also stated to him that the place the hijacker was thought to have bailed out of the NWAL flight was incorrect, but [REDACTED] did not state the exact location. [REDACTED] said that D.B. COOPER, died in 1975, not as a result of bailing out of the NWAL flight, and COOPER had spent time in prison, possibly Nebraska, with [REDACTED] [illegible] [illegible]. [REDACTED] told [REDACTED] that he had notes on the hijacking and [REDACTED] said he wanted to see them and told [REDACTED] they could compare everything they had.
