Re Seattle letter to Butte, 1/20/78.

On 3/1/78, attempts to locate [REDACTED] at his residence in [REDACTED] Montana, met with negative results, as [REDACTED] was currently in travel status.

---

On 3/6/78, contact with [REDACTED] revealed that he had left NORTHWEST AIRLINES in 7/72, and that it was company policy at that time to go through the files periodically every six months and destroy old files.

---

[REDACTED] further advised [REDACTED] took over his job and his desk and that at the time he left, the folder with all the information on the captioned hi- jacking was kept in a large bookcase directly behind his desk in an open folder.

---

[REDACTED] stated he was returning to Minneapolis in two or three weeks, at which time he would personally go into NORTHWEST Headquarters and attempt to locate the notes which he had taken during the hijacking. [REDACTED] stated that he still recalled the chronological events which took place during the captioned hijacking and that if he was unable to locate the original notes he would be willing to sit down and give a statement as to the events which took place during the hijacking.

---

[REDACTED] is going to recontact the Billings Office of the FBI upon his return from Minneapolis with the results of his findings at NORTHWEST Headquarters.

---

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
