Re telephone call from SA [REDACTED], 11/19/74

SA [REDACTED] has information re call from Sheriff CLOSNER, Skamania County re parachute found at Mt. Margaretarea so it will not be repeated in this communication.

---

Request of SA [REDACTED] to contact SO [REDACTED], Kelso, Wn. re finding of old $20 bill near Mt. St. Helens.

---

On 11/20/74 [REDACTED], Weyerhaeuser Security, Longview, Wn. was contacted and he advised that on Saturday morning 11/16/74 he was hunting in dry wash of Mt. St. Helens and met another hunter. They spoke about hunting and both agreed no good. Other hunter said it wasn't total loss for had found an old, dirty $20 bill in the wash that morning. Nothing more was said and [REDACTED] never got any information on the $20 bill, location where found (other than very general in dry wash area which is quite large), name of hunter or any other information. Has no further information on this.

---

Only when he (later that day) heard about the parachute being spotted did he feel that he should have found where the $20 was located by the unknown hunter. However he could offer no information other than that set forth above. However in view of the very wide, wild and heavily brushed area and no specific location and also nebulous information set forth above no search of the area appears to be feasible or necessary.
