Rapid City, July 18-'72

F.B.I. Minneapolis Minn.

Gentlemen:

In R.C. Journal, there was a picture (police artists drawing) of the man (Cooper) who highjacked the Seattle to Reno plane, sometime ago. I recognized the man - know his real name and circumstances leading up to it. Its a long story to be put down on paper. I can tell it better if you are interested.

Yours Truly
