BOB MATHESON called from the Bureau. He had the following to say:
1. The Director approved publicity of the article and artist's conception in the parachute magazine in response to our teletype 12/7/71.
2. He referred to a teletype of 12/ /71 from Portland in regard to a person who was [REDACTED] [REDACTED] He said it seemed to him that Portland had set out a lot of unnecessary investigation since the purpose of the thing was simply to get a photo of the suspect and have it shown to witnesses rather than getting all the background.
3. He wanted to know if we had considered having a Northwest plane fly Agents over the exact course at night so that we could look down and see just what the situation was when the "bump" occurred at 8:10 or 8:12 PM. I told him we had considered this and also had considered hiring someone to parachute from the plane but the problem was that there was no way of duplicating the conditions which existed at the time. He requested we put some type of language in a teletype about this.
