At 8:55 a.m. today, [REDACTED] FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C., telephonically contacted the Seattle Office, and in your absence, furnished the following information:

[REDACTED] stated that the Bureau is in receipt of Seattle communication requesting authority to make a press release concerning certain award monies relative to this investigation as allegedly authorized by [REDACTED] Northwest Orient Airlines, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

[REDACTED] stated the Bureau finds no fault with the proposed press release; however, would prefer that we instruct Minneapolis to contact [REDACTED] Northwest Orient and get something in writing [REDACTED] reflecting such an agreement.

I advised [REDACTED] that we would submit appropriate communication to Minneapolis relative to this matter.
