On 12/8/71, [REDACTED] of the Bureau advised that the Director had given his approval for the publication of the artist's sketch in the publication "PARACHUTIST" as requested in Seattle teletype.

He advised that a sketch prepared by the artist of the UNSUB both with and without the glasses, would be furnished to the San Francisco Office for publication as above mentioned.

[REDACTED] also asked if the entire course of the flight had been searched. He was advised that the pertinent part of the State of Washington as well as all of Oregon, and Nevada, had been checked but apparently the area in California had not yet been searched due to the fact that the reconnaissance plane had been unable to fly the course due to bad weather.

[REDACTED] advised that Sacramento should be immediately contacted and requested to do a thorough search of the area, the same to be handled within the bounds of good judgment.

[REDACTED] also had other questions, one of the ones he asked was, -

Did the UNSUB use the lavatory he [REDACTED] wondered whether he might have taken the money in there to check it.

He was advised he used the lavatory before the passengers left the plane because one of the passengers saw him. He was further advised that apparently he did not check the money in the lavatory because the stewardess observed him examining the money.

[REDACTED] also advised that the Bureau was preparing for field-wide distribution, a wanted flyer which would contain both sketches of this UNSUB, the one with glasses and one without. Exactly when this would be sent out, he did not say.
