On January 15, 1980, [REDACTED] Ridgefield, Washington, telephone [REDACTED] appeared at the Vancouver, Washington Resident Agency Office of the FBI. He provided the writer with a tape recording concerning his opinion of how D.B. COOPER disposed of the $200,000 he received from the airlines. In brief, this method, according to [REDACTED] was that COOPER worked for a bank and would slowly exchange the money he received from the hijacking for unmarked money and thus the money received from the airlines would be destroyed by the bank in a slow and steady manner.

Based on the fact that there appears no concrete evidence from [REDACTED] that the above is in fact what occurred, it is recommended that no investigation be conducted.

The tape recording is contained in a 1-A envelope.
