Dear Sir, Re: D.B. Cooper, 164-41

Information I have compiled indicates that I know who this person is. Also where and [guess: the] details.

If an interview can be held which assures that no one here at [REDACTED] would be aware of it with respect to [REDACTED] would discuss it.

I have already been [REDACTED] [REDACTED] on other matters so [illegible] no trust at this point.

There is a time element involved so quick action would be necessary.

I have advised the airline of this situation and they should receive their letter the same day as this.

[REDACTED] Sincerely, [REDACTED]
