HENRY SCHUTZ called from the Bureau at 9:50 A.M. today and advised that in reply to our UACB teletype, agents from neighboring offices can be released at noon today to return. These agents will not be recalled when the search is renewed. The agent personnel who will be reassigned to this search will be from San Francisco and Los Angeles, instead of Butte, Portland, etc.
I told him we had no information on when the search is going to start again. In other words, the date has not been set. There is a staff meeting at Fort Lewis this morning and it is possible they will have an answer before the Army leaves at noon. However, [REDACTED] had no answer at 10:00 this morning. He indicated that if they return Monday, this will probably mean they will search the southern half only but if they return on Tuesday, it will mean they will search the entire area, with a possible commitment on the troops until 4/21/72. This is conjecture on his part.

[REDACTED] of the Pacific Power and Light, Portland, should be called concerning extended stay at Lake Merwin Park.
---
[REDACTED] cannot make any statement on splitting telephone costs and this will have to be cleared through the Communications Officer at Fort Lewis. If this clearance is obtained, we will have to go through the Portland Office to contact the General Telephone Co. in Gresham, Oregon, about the installation of the WATS line. The [REDACTED] will call me this weekend if he doesn't know when we leave as to the date the search will start again.

The girl who was found yesterday died of a single stab wound in the heart. She is in her mid-20's and by the coroner's estimate was in the cistern between one month and six weeks. The hands have been packed in formaldehyde and Portland is handling pilot courier delivery to the Bureau.
---
I told SCHUTZ we would advise the Bureau as soon as we got a new starting date for the search.
