At 12:21 A.M. a Mr. CLOSSY, Associated Press, Seattle,
talked to SAC (and earlier to SA FARRELL) inquiring about a
"new story" that one of the chutes given the unsub"would not
even open, even if he tried." CLOSSY said he got his information
from EARL COSSY who packed the chutes. He said something to
the effect the chute was for demonstration on land only and
not for bailing out.
The reporter apparently talked to COSSY late afternoon
or night of Nov. 25, 1971. We had tried all day (up to 3:30 P.M
to reach him at his home SU3-0475 or Sky Sports, Issaquah
Airfield EX2-3050.

Contact COSSY for full particulars on these chutes.

Try for some identifying number so we can eliminate
those we found at Reno.
Also to resolve above infrom from AP.
