On February 12, 1972 at approximately 1100 hours, I was at the [REDACTED] when an employee, [REDACTED] mentioned that she had read a recent article concerning the North West Orient hijacking on November 24, 1971. [REDACTED] stated that she remembered a [REDACTED] Customs Security Officer in [REDACTED] which started on [REDACTED] and ended [REDACTED].
CSO [REDACTED] and a friend, CSO [REDACTED] also from [REDACTED] were talking to her about the recent hijackings and [REDACTED] told her he was a pilot. In the conversation that followed, [REDACTED] stated to her and [REDACTED] that the way to hijack a plane and escape would be to bail out using a parachute. He also stated that he could not wait to get back to the wilds of Oregon. I asked [REDACTED] if she had mentioned this to anyone else and she stated that she had talked to a Colonel several weeks before. I told [REDACTED] not to devulge any additional information concerning the in- cident.
