ARTIST'S SKETCH
A review of the testimony of the principal witnesses, including the 3 stewardesses, the 2 Northwest Airline employees (NWA) at Portland, Oregon, and the 5 passengers reflects a general disagreement concerning the accuracy of the artist's sketch. Numerous changes were sug- gested by these witnesses and some were implimented in making up the final artist's sketch. It is noted that a Bureau artist personally interviewed the three stewardesses at Minneapolis, Minnesota and thereafter prepared a re- vised sketch of the hijacker showing him with the dark glasses, which he wore on the airplane, and another sketch, but without the glasses. One key witness, [REDACTED] stewardess, was very adament in her insistence that the artist's conception was not a very good likeness of the hijacker.
