On 1/19/72 I talked to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] for the Civil Defense, regarding the search of the terrain near La Center, Washington.

He advises that if the Bureau approves this opera- tion, then we should contact the sheriff and the Civil Defense Director of Clark County to gain their assistance in using search and rescue units of that county.

In addition, we would have to assist them in locating housing for the Scouts on the nights of the 27th and 28th of January, to consist of grange halls, churches, schools or similar buildings, and in addition we would have to locate a headquarters area from which the search would start.

[REDACTED] can be reached during the balance of the week at the [REDACTED] Spokane, and thereafter at his office in [REDACTED] telephone [REDACTED]
