On 4/19/79, [REDACTED], Beaver Creek, Oregon, telephonically contacted SA [REDACTED] at the Astoria, Oregon, Resident Agency. [REDACTED] advised that approximately two and one half years ago, while in Hood River, Oregon, he had a conversation with an individual regarding "D.B. COOPER." This individual indicated he had been a paratrooper in the Army. During the conversation, this person became upset and nervous and left. Several months later, [REDACTED] advised he observed a photograph in a local newspaper (composite), and that it was very similar to the individual he had talked to in Hood River. [REDACTED] advised he does not know the person's name or where he lives. He advised that he probably could find out if went back to the Hood River area. He advised that this individual possibly worked at a plywood mill in Hood River. [REDACTED] advised he could offer no further information of value regarding this individual or of captioned matter. It is noted that the Portland Office has received numerous leads from the Hood River, Oregon, area, concerning this matter, principally because of the residence there of the individual who originally furnished information alleging that unsub and DAVID BRYANT COFFELT were identical. That individual has persisted in his allegation that COFFELT was unsub despite the fact that his original story does not square with the known facts of the case.

In view of the above circumstances, it does not appear worth while to conduct any further investigation concerning the information furnished by [REDACTED]
