Dear [REDACTED],
I am delighted to receive your letter of April 27, 1972, concerning the performance of our Special Agents in the search for the unknown hijacker of Northwest Airlines Flight 305 in the vicinity of La Center, Washing- ton.
I had written to General Bolling earlier and am attaching a copy of my letter to him for your information. In addition, however, I would like to tell you officially, as I have told you informally before, that we are deeply appreciative of the assistance received from the Army and are most favorably impressed by the performance of [REDACTED] and his splendid staff.
It is a source of pride and assurance to see the Army perform in the magnificent manner in which they did on this extremely difficult task. It is a tribute to you and to the officers under your direction, and I hope that you will see fit to insure that appropriate records are made of my observations concerning their performance.

Sincerely yours,
