Federal Bureau of Investigation Federal Building Tacoma, WA 98402

Attention: Mr. Kellison

Gentlemen:

Re: Information concerning "D. B. Cooper" case

I have this date delivered to Mr. Kellison of the Tacoma office copies of certain written communications from Howard J. Hubbell to the undersigned containing informa- tion which concerns the possible identity of the person known as "D. B. Cooper" being sought for the hijacking of a 727 airliner and escape with some $200,000.00. Additionally, I have supplemented the written communica- tions with whatever personal knowledge I have either of Mr. Hubbell or any other persons possibly involved in the incident referred to.

The information has been furnished with the intent of assisting in the apprehension of "D. B. Cooper" and also with the specific intent and purpose of preserving Mr. Hubbell's right to claim any reward offered or tendered by any private company and/or government agency. The information has been furnished with the understanding that the F.B.I. will cooperate in whatever respect necessary to protect Mr. Hubbell's interest in that regard.

Yours very truly,

---
