Subject line identifies this as a NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case communication, office of origin Seattle, referencing a previous Los Angeles night teletype to the Bureau. An individual submitted to interview at the Los Angeles FBI office. He states he first met Karl Fleming, Los Angeles bureau chief of Newsweek magazine, in early February after learning through social acquaintances that Fleming was seeking someone. He and an associate who often works with him agreed to arrange access to an unnamed fugitive for Fleming in connection with a Newsweek story.
