OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 JULY 1973 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.6 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum
TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81)(P) DATE: 11/6/74
FROM : SC [REDACTED]
SUBJECT: NORJAK

On 11/5/74, Seattle, Wash., [REDACTED] came into this office and advised as follows:
[REDACTED], found a parachute in an old abandoned shack located in the woods near their house. The parachute, described as white nylon with the words "U. S. Navy" on it, and has a serial number on it (unrecalled by [REDACTED] what the number is), was found [REDACTED] about one year ago but was only discovered by [REDACTED] this past week when [REDACTED] asked to have it placed in his room. The parachute does not have a container with it, but was found in a box with rubber gloves and a plastic case.
The missing parachute in this case - the one apparently used by the UNSUB - is described as 28 feet, nylon, white, flight circular (non-stearable), which was packed in a model [guess: NR] NB 6 (Navy back pack 6) container and harness. The file does not say if the chute or container had a serial number on it.
It is suggested steps be taken to determine if the parachute in the possession of [REDACTED] is identical to that used by the UNSUB. If it is not, the serial number should be checked in NCIC.
After discussing this matter with Supervisor SUTTHOFF, it was decided that if the parachute is not that one used by the UNSUB, or if it is negative in NCIC, [REDACTED] should be advised this office will contact Navy personnel (at Sand- point) and let them decide what action they want to take to recover the parachute, if they wish.
