Memorandum
TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81)
DATE: 12/9/71
FROM : ASAC PAUL R. BIBLER
SUBJECT: NORJACK

I called the Bureau on 12/9/71 and talked to SA
HENRY SHUTZ. I told him it was our feeling here that we
should get cooperative newspapers to publish this bait
list and to generate as much enthusiasm as we could among
the public and perhaps somebody would come up with one of
these $20 bills. I wondered if the Bureau had given considera-
tion to instructing all SAC's to have this done.
He called back and said they were not going to do
this because first, they did not think most newspapers would
publish it; second, they did not want all SAC's to have the
feeling that they had to get it published, which might cause
a great deal of difficulty around the field. He said he
thought their instructions were sufficient, that if we could
arrange to get it published in our division, and if we wanted
to call other offices on a selected basis, and see if the
SAC's could work out some arrangement to publish it, he would
leave that up to us. He definitely stated that we had
authority to get the list published if we so desired.
