PAGE TWO [guess: NFO 164-169]

[REDACTED] FURTHER ADVISED THAT ONE [REDACTED] [REDACTED] WAS INJURED AT THE SITE ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 16, 1971, IN A CAVE-IN AND [REDACTED] FEELS THAT [REDACTED] MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY COOPER.

[REDACTED] STATED THAT ALTHOUGH HE CANNOT RECALL WHETHER OR NOT COOPER WORKED THE DAY PRECEDING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, HE STATED THAT IF THE EMPLOYEE WAS TO RECEIVE HOLIDAY PAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR THE EMPLOYEE TO WORK BOTH THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY AFTER THE HOLIDAY. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE ONLY WAY AN INDIVIDUAL WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE HOLIDAY PAY AND NOT WORK WAS IF THAT INDIVIDUAL PRESENTED AN "EMERGENCY TYPE EXCUSE SUCH AS DEATH IN THE FAMILY OR SERIOUS ILLNESS."

IN ADDITION, [REDACTED] STATED THAT FROM WHAT HE RECALLS OF COOPER, HE (COOPER) OCCASIONALLY COMPLAINED OF UNKNOWN FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AT HOME. [REDACTED] STATED THAT DURING THE SPRING OF 1972, COOPER SOLD HIM A RUGER SIX SHOT .22 CALIBER REVOLVER, WHICH HE STILL OWNS FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING MONIES TO MEET THESE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

AI notes

Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Continuation page (Page Two) of an FBI interview report in which redacted interviewees describe a workplace cave-in injury around November 16, 1971 that may have led to Cooper being brought on as a replacement worker, discuss normal holiday-pay work procedures, and note that Cooper occasionally complained of financial problems and sold a Ruger .22 caliber revolver to one interviewee in spring 1972.

Typed text shows print/copy degradation typical of aged mimeograph or photocopy documents; some characters appear faint or slightly malformed.
Several fields are redacted with black-bordered boxes; corresponding FOIA exemption codes (b6, b7C) are printed in the right margin next to the redacted lines.
Two small dark circular marks near the top of the page appear to be hole punches, staple remnants, or copier artifacts unrelated to the document content.
The file/case number in the 'PAGE TWO' header line is partially unclear due to print quality.
