AIRTEL
TO: SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) FROM: SAC, PHOENIX (164-100) (P) NORJAK
ReBuairtel to AL, 12/7/71.
On 12/20/71, [REDACTED] U.S. Parachute Service, 6976 E. Baseline, Mesa, Arizona, was contacted regarding captioned matter. [REDACTED] stated he was familiar with this matter and believed the subject would have had to have been a sporting parachutist and parachute rigger in order to accomplish his feat.
[REDACTED] indicated a listing of licensed parachutists is maintained by the U.S. Parachute Association in Monterey, California. The U.S. Parachute Association has supposedly instituted a policy approximately two years ago wherein they have on file photographs of all licensed parachutists. Inquiries made to the U.S. Parachute Association should be directed to [REDACTED] Monterey, California.
Although it is noted approximately 40 percent of the nation's parachutists are licensed, this could conceivably be a worthwhile lead for office of origin in this matter.
Phoenix will attempt to conduct appropriate investi- gation to ascertain the location of the list for licensed parachute riggers.
UNSUB CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.
