Transcript

The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

2. I am told there is no Dept. of Ag. smoke jumpers camp at Sand Point, but [redacted]ere are at least four in [redacted]ntana and Idaho, all of whose personnel records are at Portland.

3. I think I recall an article on Smoke Jumpers, where it described the outlandish costumes some units adopted.

4. If the C.I.A. or its companies used a 727 for personnel drops why keep it classified information? If they have, the Chinese intelligence would certainly have known it by now. How many pilots or jumpers have returned to private life?
