Mr. EARL J. COSSEY, Master Parachute Rigger, and member of U. S. Parachute Association, Monterey, California, advised as follows:

The U. S. Parachute Association maintains a membership list for the entire country. All parachutists are not, in fact, members of USPA; however, the overwhelming majority of them are members.

In addition to membership lists, the USPA carries a list of parachute instructors and if UNSUB had taken parachute lessons within the past year, it might be possible to identify him through the list of instructors maintained by USPA.

It should be emphasized that instructors would probably remember most parachutists above the age of 40 since the majority of new students are younger.
