check be made on this individual for purpose of identifying him with the hijacker. Subsequently I was advised by ASAC RUHL at Portland, that he had definitely eliminated this person, since he had had a policeman at [REDACTED] Oregon, go and personally talk to this man, [REDACTED] FBI # [REDACTED] and he is definitely not on the plane but is in [REDACTED] Oregon. I advised SHUTZ of this.

---

At the suggestion of the Bureau I called Butte and asked them to check on [REDACTED] to see if he had [REDACTED] Butte called back and advised this was negative and subsequently I was advised by [REDACTED] at the airport that [REDACTED] was no relation to DAN COOPER.

---

At approximately 8:20 PM, after the plane had departed from Sea-Tac, I got a description of the UNSUB which [REDACTED] had obtained from one of the stewardesses. I called RUHL down at Portland, passing this description on to him and requested that he have the Agents at the airport recontact Northwest personnel who were on duty at the time the plane departed Portland, to determine again whether they could further identify the UNSUB.
