[REDACTED] Editor, Lake County Examiner P. O. Box 271 Lakeview, Oregon

Dear [REDACTED]:

---

Thank you very much for forwarding me the information you received from [REDACTED], [REDACTED], Oregon. She pointed out the similarity in appearance between fugitive murder suspect John Emil List of Westfield, New Jersey and the artist's conception of the individual who hijacked the Northwest Airlines 727 on November 24, 1971.

For your information the FBI is conducting an investigation to locate List under the Fugitive Felon Act and a review of our file indicates that List's description approximates that of the hijacker as to age, height and weight. You can be sure that the lead you gave us will be checked out thoroughly.

When this case is finally solved it will probably be through the interest and cooperation of concerned citizens such as you. Again let me thank you for your information.

Very truly yours,

[signature]

J. L. MATTSON Special Agent in Charge
