Re Seattle letter 12/13/71 transmitting copy
of a letter received by the managing editor of the
SEATTLE TIMES on 12/13/71, signed "D. B. COOPER."
On 12/14/71 SA [redacted] called from the
Bureau. He advised that the UPI carried an article today
concerning a letter received by the LOS ANGELES TIMES, and
wanted to know where the original of this letter could be
located since Los Angeles advised they had a copy.
I told him that the SEATTLE TIMES likewise re-
ceived a copy, as did the WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK
TIMES, and that we had sent a wire to Los Angeles, New
York and WFO to get the copy received by them.
While talking to SA [redacted] I called [redacted]
at the SEATTLE TIMES, who had furnished the letter
originally and he said he had given us everything they
received.
I advised [redacted] that I suspected that very
likely the original was still in the hands of the
writer.
