Enclosed for Portland is one business card of D. B. COOPER, Director, COOPER's SKYDIVING SCHOOL, Sky Harbor Field, Salem, Oregon.

On 11/27/78, [REDACTED], TREASURE ENTERPRISES, 3815 Rickenbacker Drive, Boise, Idaho, advised a man came into her office sometime between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on 11/22/78. He wanted to rent a 172 Cessna airplane to go to San Francisco and San Diego for three weeks.

[REDACTED] said she could not approve the rental that the man would have to talk to one of the company officials. He then said he had an appointment and would return later. He gave [REDACTED] a business card in the name of D. B. COOPER, COOPER's SKYDIVING SERVICE, Salem, Oregon, and left. He said he would return Monday, 11/27/78. [REDACTED] described this man as follows:
