[REDACTED], Stockton Police Department, furnished the following information:

While returning ROBERT WESLEY JONES, also known as Robert Wesley Rackstraw, from New York to California, on March 3, 1978, he listened when JONES mentioned the "D. B. COOPER" case. JONES had earlier refused to sign a rights and waiver form.

JONES mentioned that he was one of 1500 men who were members of the Green Berets and who had the requisite skills to pull off the COOPER caper. JONES claimed the FBI interviewed all 1500 of them and left the inference he had been cleared of any involvement.

JONES furnished no other information of value but his attitude during the entire time was that he was vehemently against the "system", or "establishment".

It is noted that JONES had been forced to resign from the Army about five months before the hijack took place.
