[REDACTED] California, fur- nished the following information:
Concerning the individual he talked to sometime during July or August 1971, who [REDACTED] believes could be identical to the subject that hijacked the Northwest Airlines aircraft on November 24, 1971, he recalled that the man he talked to must have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough to buy a "P. C.", meaning Para-Commander type parachute, the kind used by parachute enthusiasts and most sport jumpers.
---
[REDACTED] advised he recalled this while studying the Government memorandum containing the description of the man who hijacked the aircraft on November 24, 1971. He further advised that he doubted that the man he talked to belonged to any para- chute or jumping clubs inasmuch as the average age of jumpers is between 25 to 28 years and they would not hang around with an "old guy like that", and too because most clubs in California have disbanded in the last year and a half.
---
Concerning clubs and their locations, [REDACTED] advised that they could be identified through the U. S. Parachute Asso- ciation which prints a brochure with the clubs in alphabetical order by states.
