ADDENDUM:

In connection with my discussion with [REDACTED] on 11/23/76, she pointed out that at the present time they have no agreements with any organization or firm concerning the identity of the UNSUB in this case; however, they have been making some initial contacts with a JOHN M. BANKS, who is apparently the owner-operator of Underwater Salvage and Elec- trical Exploration Company, Kirkland, WA, concerning the under- water search of a lake into which it is believed the UNSUB may have fallen. BANKS had indicated to their company that if the search was agreed on and he was able to locate either the victim or any evidence, i.e. money, parachute, etc., he would immediately notify the FBI and their firm. She again pointed out that they have made no firm commitment with this individual.
