SE 164-81

EDVINS KIPERTS further stated that he recalls that he and his brother, ARVIDIS KIPERTS, have discussed the hijacking of an airplane by the man generally referred to as "D. B. COOPER" and he recalls his brother commenting to the effect that some person would be happy if he found the money lying in the woods in a sack. He said his brother was aware of the hijacking from newspaper publicity which followed the hijacking. He said his brother never gave any indication at all that he had any knowledge of the hijacking from any source but the newspapers.

He explained that his brother, ARVIDIS, did not like airplanes and he explained that his brother would even take a bus to visit relatives in such distant places as Memphis, Tennessee, rather than to fly. He stated that in the Air Force, his brother was in the Finance Section and had no connection with flying. Further he has never known his brother to make a parachute jump or express an interest in parachutes.

He stated he can not recall any person who might corroborate his recollection that his brother, ARVIDIS, was in his apartment on the evening of 11/24/71.
