Re: United States of America v. D.B. Cooper

Dear [redacted]:

---

I am in receipt of your letter of 15 March 1979 and agree to abide fully by its terms. I have discussed the contents of said letter with my client. At this point in time, he is not interested in pursuing the matter. This change in plans stems from personal problems which may well resolve themselves in the near future and allow us to once again pursue this topic.

I shall consider the matter closed until I hear otherwise from my client and, in that event, I will contact you once again.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
