On 11/28/71 [REDACTED], Cosmopolitan Motor Inn, advised that while on duty at the Cosmopolitan a man, looking very much like the hijacker, checked into the motor inn at about 8:00 pm on 11/26/71. The man paid for his room in cash and would not let [REDACTED] handle a briefcase he was carrying. The man was also in possession of additional luggage and was driving what appeared to be a rental car, which he parked himself.

[REDACTED] described the man as:

White Male 5'9" 160 lbs. receding hairline

[REDACTED] stated he could not recall the man's name or the room number he was assigned. He said he was trying to determine if the man was still at the motel, and that he would advise FBI, Portland, if he develops any additional information.
