Comparison of the enclosed driver's license photograph does not disclose any marked resemblance to the artist's conception drawing of "D.B. Cooper".
---
On 1/25/82, [REDACTED] California, telephone number [REDACTED] was contacted relative to the information furnished in his letter to the Seattle Office referred to above. [REDACTED] stated that he was prompted to write the letter after viewing an "In Search Of" episode on television con- cerning "D.B. Cooper" in the captioned hijacking. In [REDACTED] estimation, the artist's conception drawing of "Cooper" reminded him of Clemens. He had no other reason than this believed resemblance to consider Clemens a suspect in the captioned matter, but believed that Clemens was a retired airline pilot, although he did not know for which airlines Clemens had flown. Clemens had never [REDACTED] of any paratrooper-type experience and was fairly tight-lipped re- garding his personal life. [REDACTED] believed that this could be accounted for, possibly by the fact that Clemens was in apparently failing health due to a terminal disease resulting ultimately in his death.
---
Other than the above, [REDACTED] was able to furnish no infor- mation other than that contained in his original letter, indicating any additional reason why Clemens should be considered a possible suspect in this case.
---
The enclosed photograph is being forwarded to Seattle for possible display to witnesses in this matter. No further investigation regarding Clemens is contemplated at San Diego unless requested by Seattle.
