One copy of this letter is being disseminated to Las Vegas for their information in view of the referenced Bureau airtel.

The Bureau Laboratory is requested to examine this parachute in an attempt to determine the type of parachute it is and individuals who might use this type of parachute and coloring, such as the U. S. Forest Service. Will also attempt, if possible, to determine the age of the parachute or how long it has been in this remote area, concealed under a log. At the conclusion of whatever examination the Laboratory can make of this parachute, it should be returned to the San Francisco Division and results furnished to the Seattle and Las Vegas Offices.
