Re Seattle letter to Knoxville dated 3/26/80.

Enclosed for Seattle are two copies of self- explanatory memo to file dated 5/29/80 detailing information furnished to Knoxville Division by [REDACTED] re captioned matter.

For information of Seattle, enclosed memo details the conversation held between SA [REDACTED] Knoxville Division and [REDACTED]. Review of the information furnished by [REDACTED] indicates nothing specific or verifiable at this time. It is believed by the Knoxville Division that [REDACTED] furnished this information on a pretext in an attempt to establish some credibility with the Knoxville Division inasmuch as several FBI Divisions have ongoing investigations involving [REDACTED]. Historically, [REDACTED] has been to cooperate with Federal and local law enforcement authorities only when it would be beneficial to him.

[REDACTED] was shown the four artist conceptions that were enclosed with the referenced communication. [REDACTED] advised that drawing number 3 most resembled [REDACTED] friend with the only changes being a thinner facial structure and a hairline that receded more.

Knoxville will maintain contact with [REDACTED] in an attempt to develop more specific information. Inasmuch as no positive information was developed, this matter is being ruc'd.
