On 4/19/72 SAC CALAME called from Salt Lake City.
He advised that they had been unable to establish the whereabouts of RICHARD FLOYD McCOY on 11/24/71, the day of the hijacking. They have noted that gas purchases were made with his credit card at Provo, Utah; Cedar City, Utah -and at Las Vegas, Nevada, for his automobile on 11/25/71, the last one being made at Las Vegas, Nevada, some time between 11:00 PM on 11/25/71, and 9:00 AM on 11/26/71. Further, McCOY and his wife are inveterate users of credit cards, purchasing meals and other small items on credit cards, but they have been unable to locate any purchases on the credit cards for 11/24/71.

A long distance telephone call was made from a public phone in the Tropicana Motel at Las Vegas to McCOY's home in Provo collect on 11/25/71. I suggested to them that they have Las Vegas find out who made the call since the Telephone Company maintains records on the identity of the caller.
---
They advised that [REDACTED] when shown the photograph of the necktie and tie clip found in the Northwest Airlines plane related that he had seen McCOY wear similar ties. In addition, he said the tie clasp looks familiar but he cannot say for sure if McCOY had one exactly like it.
---
During the conversation SAC CALAME suggested, and I agree, that we should check with the Army at Fort Lewis and at McChord AFB to see if McCOY could have made any flights on a military plane arriving at McChord or Fort Lewis on November 22, 23 or 24, 1971, or made any flight from there on those dates or November 25 or 26, 1971.
---
In addition, steps should be initiated at once through the appropriate airline to determine if McCOY using the name R. McCOY, RICHARD FLOYD McCOY, D. COOPER, DAN COOPER or J. JOHNSON, made any flights from either Seattle or Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas subsequent to 8:15 PM on 11/24/71. This should be done at once.
