[redacted] who resides in [redacted], advised telephonically that he had been contacted by a "Newsweek" magazine reporter whose name was [redacted] regarding the hijacking which occurred on North- west Airlines in November, 1971. [redacted] provided the fol- lowing information:
[redacted] called him long-distance and asked if he would be available for an interview at 2 a.m. on April 22, 1972. [redacted] replied to [redacted] that he would be awake and up and would be available for the interview. [redacted] arrived at [redacted] and pulled out a photograph. [redacted] looked at the photograph and thought to himself that the individual depicted in the photograph looked very much like the hijacker of the Northwest Airlines plane. [redacted] said that he did not tell [redacted] his thoughts about the man in the photograph being the hijacker. He told [redacted] that it has been a very long time and he has been shown numerous photographs, and his memory has faded and he could not determine if the man in the photo- graph was the hijacker.

[redacted] said the photograph was of a white male wearing a tie and a sweater or suit coat. The individual was wearing sunglasses with wire-rim frames. The individual was on a street and appeared to be walking toward a sidewalk. The man's hands were folded in front of him and out of sight in the photograph. [redacted] received the impression that the man may have been handcuffed but did not see any handcuffs in the photograph. He noted that the license plates of ve- hicles in the pictures and names of stores in the picture had been smeared in order to prevent identification of the location of the scene.
