FROM : SAC, SEATTLE Sub- A.A. L.C. F E SUBJECT: NORJAK

At 8:55 AM, 12/23/71, SAC HELD called from Minneapolis. He advised he had been talking to [REDACTED] b6 and that arrangements were made for the same 727 to be avail- b7C able to make the simulated flight on 12/27/71.

He suggested that agents actually ride on the plane. He advised that [REDACTED] had told them he did not b6 want a man to actually make the parachute jump but that b7C we could simulate the conditions by dropping a package of similar weight.

Thereafter [REDACTED] b6 [REDACTED] Northwest Airlines, called and advised that he b7C was going to come to Seattle on the evening of 12/26/71 and would be at the Sea-Tac Motor Inn at 8:00 AM on 12/27/71. I told him we would bring all of the maps and material that we had which has a bearing on this so that we can decide how the flight will take place.

He advised that the airplane would be avail- able for the flight around 4:30 PM. He asked that we make the arrangements for the dummy and the actual drop itself. He will make all the arrangements for the airplane.

[REDACTED] told me, contrary to our earlier b6 belief, that the crew told him that they could see the lights b7C of Portland and other distinctive lights in that area, so given knowledge of the specific area the hijacker could very easily have made a jump to a specific location.
