At 1:20 p.m. on 5/23/78, SAC JACK REID, Seattle Division, telephonically advised that MIKE WALLACE was contemplating presenting information on TV reflecting that the Bureau was covering up information regarding the identity of D. B. COOPER. The program would infer that the Bureau had eliminated BRYANT COFFELT because he was a close friend of HOOVER and was, in some way, involved in the assassination of MARTIN LUTHER KING. REID advised that, by Los Angeles airtel dated 1/24/77, Los Angeles had provided Seattle with two photographs of COFFELT, one in which he was wearing a white checkered shirt and glasses, and the second was a head on shot wherein COFFELT was wearing a sport shirt and smoking a cigarette.
REID continued that [REDACTED] of BRYANT COFFELT, had been located in Honolulu, Hawaii, and exhibited photographs furnished to Seattle by referenced Los Angeles airtel and that she had stated that the indivi- dual in the photographs was not identical to [REDACTED] BRYANT COFFELT.
SAC REID requested that the following leads be handled by Los Angeles expeditiously and results be provided to Seattle by telephone or teletype.
1. Locate [REDACTED] of BRYANT COFFELT, [REDACTED] Gardena, California, and exhibit photographs mentioned above and determing if identical to COFFELT.
