Enclosed herewith for Seattle is a parcel containing nylon cord.

For information of Seattle, "The Oregon Journal," Portland daily newspaper, has been publishing a series of articles concerning captioned matter. These articles have generated considerable public interest. As a result of this publicity, [REDACTED] Gladstone, Oregon, telephone [REDACTED] furnished the following information:
---
During approximately October, 1973, [REDACTED] went on a hike on Mt. Hood, approximately forty miles east of Portland, Oregon. Walking on an established trail, he spied a few pieces of what appeared to be nylon material in a small opening a short distance off the trail. He examined the material, which appeared to possibly be from a parachute. He cut off several pieces of the nylon cord and brought them home with him.
---
It is realized that this location is too far from the scene of the hijacker's jump to be logically related to this case. However, in view of the intense current public interest and the fact that [REDACTED] furnished his information first to "The Oregon Journal" which trans- mitted it to the Portland Office, it is felt further investigation should be conducted.
---
Recalling that the parachute rigger in this matter originally stated he would be able to identify any part of the missing parachutes, the enclosed material should be shown to him and definitely eliminated as being from the parachutes furnished the hijacker. In view of interest of the newspaper in resolution of any leads generated by them, it is requested results be furnished Portland.
