At approximately 9:45 PM, 4/20/72, SA [REDACTED] Los Angeles Division, telephonically furnished the following information.

[REDACTED] advised that earlier on 4/20/72, when [REDACTED] was first approached by bureau Agents, he seemed shaken and said he did not wish to talk to the Agents further until he had a change to consult his attorney.

Later on the afternoon of 4/20/72, he contacted the Los Angeles office and agreed to be interviewed, but requested the Agents contact him away from the FBI office.

When he called at 9:45 PM, [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] had furnished the following information concerning his trip to Seattle and although he seemed somewhat hesitant at times to fully disclose his activity, they felt that he would tell most of what he could remember. [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] had admitted that he and [REDACTED] had travelled to Seattle by air for the purpose of making a recording for a KARL FLEMING of Newsweek magazine. [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] was hired by FLEMING and that [REDACTED] who had been a fellow university [REDACTED] then contacted [REDACTED] for the purpose of making the recording. [REDACTED] travelled from Los Angeles to Seattle/by air in the late afternoon and when they arrived at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport they were paged by KARL FLEMING who was already there. They then proceeded to a motel which /64-81-[guess: 2006] [REDACTED] described as being on the water and within a few miles of where they rented a Hertz car the following day.
