Richard G. Kleindeinst U. S. Attorney General

Sir:

Im taking the liberty to write you directly about a matter that I beleive has reached significant status, and deserves to be considered from the highest level.

I am postive I know the man who started this rash of parachute hijacking or skyjacking D. B. Cooper. He has become living proof that this sort of thing can be done successfully, and with his capture I beleive the wind would be knocked out of the parachute of many potential skyjackers before they got off the ground.

I have a credibility problem because, of my record and crime. I need the ear of an intelligent person who will not let anything sway his judgement untill he has heard what I have to say.

When the facts are in and the results proven I hope special consideration will be given to my case.

Your man will not have to talk to me long before he will see that I know what I'm talking about, and why I am postive of my facts.

I would say when you find this man you will find at least one hundred eighty thousand dollars. I will tell you how to locate him within twenty four hours. I've known this man nearly twenty years. He has no criminal history.

Im sixty two years old and doing twenty five years for 2113A in 1967 I have served over fourty years behind bars since my father was killed in 1922.

I do not want any visible credit for this.

Im not postive this letter goes out unopened or I'd have gave more details.

I am Howard J. Hubbell #84333-132 Leavenworth, Kan.
