At 8:15 a.m. on November 27, 1971, I received a call from SA [REDACTED] at the Bureau. He advised that the UPI Wire Service in Washington carried a story with a Woodland, Washington dateline quoting SA MANNING as saying "We are going to interview every sky jumper in Southwest Washington" and "We look at what happened a man jumps from a plane in the middle of a dark stormy night, he is either an experienced jumper or he is crazy. We've got to check both angles". [REDACTED] advised that since the Director had said we were to make no additional comments on the matter why MANNING had made this statement. I told him that I don't think that MANNING made it and I would check and let him know.

At 11:15 I called [REDACTED] back and told him that those remarks were common remarks among many many people in the search area but that MANNING had made no such remark to any newspaper person and that MANNING had been told not to make any.
