[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.
