SAC, SEATTLE

UNSUB, aka Dan Cooper NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT 305 PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION

On 12/7/71 SA [REDACTED] called from the Bureau and advised that they had just sent up a memo to the Director recommending that the Bureau make a national press release concerning the availability of the serial numbers of the money paid to the hijacker. I had discussed this with [REDACTED] and SA [REDACTED] on 12/6/71 and recommended that it be done, and at the same time encourage the publica- tion of the list by any newspaper inclined to do so.

I suggested that the public be advised that the numbers were in the NCIC and that they could be checked immediately.
