this matter had been discussed with FBIHQ, cooperation with CBS had not been authorized. I personally spoke with [REDACTED] who indicated that [REDACTED] had called him on a number of occasions regarding the possibility of a show and that the Bureau had approved Portland and later Seattle, as Office of Origin, being contacted by [REDACTED] I returned [REDACTED] call and informed him of the above and it was agreed to meet on 5/5/78 at my office.
[REDACTED] came to my office at the appointed hour and for approximately the next 1½ to 2 hours, he spoke with myself, SA [REDACTED] who is the Case Agent in this investigation, and SA [REDACTED] who is the Media Repre- sentative for the Seattle Office.

I first informed [REDACTED] of the administrative breakdown of an investigation as to Office of Origin, Case Agent, Lead Agent, etc., and that in this investigation, the Case Agent was SA [REDACTED] and that the Lead Agent in the Portland Division was SA [REDACTED] I then made available to [REDACTED] a copy of the case summary contained in ReBUtel dated 5/5/78 and explained to him the necessity of keeping a certain amount of "identifiers" confidential as this was a pending investigation. [REDACTED] asked a multitude of questions deal- ing with: specific comments of the Unsub; the denomina- tions of money that he wanted; type(s) of parachutes asked for and received; any comments he made to stewardesses; etc. In a number of these areas, it was necessary, for the reasons stated above, to merely reply "no comment", and again refer to the fact that this was a pending investigation and we needed certain information kept confidential to either prove or disprove that a particular individual is or is not the Unsub.
Being perfectly candid, it was obvious that [REDACTED] was not entirely pleased with his trip to Seattle and referred to information that he had received from SA [REDACTED] of the Portland Office and the fact that he had been so fre- quently quoted in the news media. I informed [REDACTED] that
