At approximately 12:31 p.m., PST, 4/27/78, a telephone call was received in the Portland Division from MIKE WALLACE, CBS, New York.
By way of background, WALLACE called for SA [REDACTED] on 4/25/78, at 10:37 a.m. and again on the morning of 4/26/78. [REDACTED] was engaged in a police school which prevented a return of either of these telephone calls. On the occasion of the second call, I was informed of the receipt of the telephone calls in the absence of SA [REDACTED] Having had previous knowledge of the interest of MIKE WALLACE of "60 Minutes" in the D. B. COOPER matter and the story which was being prepared for "60 Minutes," I had discussions with SAC, Seattle, and FBIHQ Press Office, [REDACTED] During these conversations, I learned of WALLACE's attempt to get information from the FBI with respect to his story. [REDACTED] informed me that TOM COLL had handled the inquiry and had, for all practical purposes, declined to furnish information to WALLACE.
Upon receipt of advice of WALLACE's attempts to reach [REDACTED] I concluded that WALLACE's interest obviously related to the "60 Minutes" program. I therefore contacted TOM COLL directly and discussed my intentions with respect to WALLACE's inquiry at Portland, advising COLL that I felt it was necessary from a business and professional point of view to return WALLACE's call but that WALLACE would not be permitted to ask any questions of [REDACTED] if it related to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] COLL was in agreement and it was also decided that if WALLACE was persistent, he should be referred to TOM COLL in Washington.
