was determined by his department that the property could in no way have been associated with the sky- jacking connected with D. B. COOPER within the past two or three years. He said there were large quantities of what appeared to be camping equipment and it was felt that the property had been exposed to the elements for at least ten years.

He stated that there formerly was a para- medic training facility operating out of the Stead Air Base near Reno, Nevada, and that trainees and instructors from that facility often parachuted into and trained in the Sierraville area.

He stated that he was quite certain that the highly deteriorated property found had been left by those trainees.

[REDACTED] advised that after coming to that conclusion he had disposed of the property at the Sierraville dump.

On October 25, 1974, a physical observation at the Sierraville dump concluded the discarded property could not be located.
