FROM: SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) DAILY TELETYPE
NORJAK.
SEATTLE HAS CONDUCTED AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH OF WHAT WAS CONSIDERED THE PRIME AREA INTO WHICH THE SUBJECT MIGHT HAVE PARACHUTED, ALL WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THIS AREA WAS CONSIDERED PRIME DUE TO CALCULATIONS BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES OF THEIR FLIGHT RECORDER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ABOARD THE PLANE PLUS THE EXPERIENCING OF AN QUOTE OSCILLATION UNQUOTE BY PILOT.
NORTHWEST AIRLINES HAS OFFERED TO SIMULATE THE SAME CONDITIONS OF THE AIRCRAFT AS PREVAILED DURING THE HIJACK AND WILL FLY OVER THE SAME COURSE FROM SEATTLE TO RENO. THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO DETERMINE IF THE CONCLUSIONS THEY HAVE REACHED ARE, IN FACT, CORRECT AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DETERMINE THIS IS TO HAVE A RERUN OF THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS.
SEATTLE WILL ARRANGE, THROUGH THE MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE, FOR NORTHWEST TO DO THIS AT SUCH TIME AS NORTHWEST CAN DO SO.
BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED FLIGHT, SEATTLE WILL MAKE A JUDGMENT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT ADDITIONAL SEARCHING SHOULD BE CONDUCTED OVER THE PRIME SEARCH AREA OR IF
