coordinator at The Journal.
If the codes and torn edges
match, your agent will be
given the $1,000 for the first
$20 of the "Cooper cash" to
be turned in.
The procedure listed in
points 1, 2 and 3 can be fol-
lowed for supplying informa-
tion about what has hap-
pened to Cooper.
Julius Mattson, agent in
charge of the Portland office
of the FBI, says he can visu-
alize situations where people
with the money might be
willing to turn it in, but do
not wish it to become known
that they have the money.
"Suppose someone had
found the money and has
been holding onto it afraid to
turn it in, or has even spent
some of it and then become
afraid of the consequences;
such a person might wel-
come the 'Secret Witness'
opportunity," Mattson add-
ed.
There has long been specu-
lation that the hijacker per-
ished in his nocturnal leap
from the jetliner and that
some day a hunter or hiker
would find his body or the
money somewhere along the
flight path of the aircraft be-
tween Seattle and Reno. It is
this possibility to which
Mattson refers.
