RE Publication of a "D. B. Cooper Story" in the Seattle Flag, Seattle, Wash., May 10, 1972

---

Dear Sir:

Enclosed is one copy of an interview by Agents of the FBI with [REDACTED] on May 18, 1972.

In the May 10, 1972, issue of the "Seattle Flag," [REDACTED] of which is shown in the newspaper as [REDACTED] carried a headline, "D. B. Cooper Found!"

The paper also contained an enlarged reproduction of a $20 bill alleged to be from among the ransom money paid on November 24, 1971, during the hijack at Seattle, Wash- ington, of Northwest Airlines' Flight No. 305, during which $200,000 ransom was paid by the airline company.

The newspaper contained a story which allegedly was an interview with "Cooper."

An examination by the FBI Laboratory of the $20 bill reproduced in the article established that it was not part of the ransom money, although the number was the same.
