March 1, 1972

On March 1, 1972, SAC MATTSON from Portland called and I talked to he and SA [REDACTED]. They advised that [REDACTED] operating out of Portland, informed that [REDACTED]. On the day in question, specifically November 24, 1971, there were four [REDACTED] [REDACTED] working the concourse on which Northwest Flight 405 was loaded. [REDACTED] has interviewed them and none have acknowledged seeing anyone [REDACTED] on that concourse; however, they were not asked specifically if [REDACTED] has informed that [REDACTED]. The one witness who is the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was shown the photograph of [REDACTED] along with others, and he did not recognize any of those as being identical with the hijacker. He was not, however, questioned specifically if [REDACTED] was identical.

[REDACTED] advised that the person most likely to know the whereabouts of [REDACTED] during the pertinent period was [REDACTED] who is now [REDACTED] at Washington, D. C. Further, they advised that [REDACTED] travels to Seattle in a Datsun and they would have no way of knowing specifically how he traveled or when he traveled to catch the flight at 9:30 AM bound for Honolulu on November 25, 1971. He further advised that [REDACTED] is presently being assigned out of Seattle and the [REDACTED] should know his specific whereabouts at this moment. I told them that [REDACTED] one of the witnesses, could be located at the [REDACTED] telephone [REDACTED] Portland, and asked them to contact him and show the photograph to him at once, letting us know the results. I further asked them to interview [REDACTED] specifically to determine whether or not [REDACTED] [REDACTED] or whether he gave [REDACTED] [REDACTED] pointing out that the airlines people here have advised that while the [REDACTED] are not supposed to they frequently [REDACTED] from the a[irlines] [illegible]
