[guess: Re] Stewardess - 3 Dec 7, 1971
---
I believe the men had gone into the forward
section of the plane. Does the stewardess remember
getting them seated together?
What military installation is at Sandpoint, Idaho?
Paratroopers?
A man who piloted a 727 to drop personnel,
talking to any paratroopers as casually as he
did me, could pass on information how to
fly a drop.
The F.B.I. has no casual access to C.I.A.
personnel files. If I had a name, I could
get verification just as easily through Senator
Jackson as they could. In fact, they probably
wouldn't even ask the national security council
to clear them to ask - unless all through that
territory the man has told the same story.
Curiosity killed the cat, who had nine lives.
I have lost enough of mine through curiosity,
I should know enough not to ask. But I am.
