[Handwritten annotation: SUB C,J]

Enclosed for the Bureau are two copies of an agreement prepared by [REDACTED]

---

For the information of the Bureau, [REDACTED] who has a business address in Mountain View, California and telephone numbers of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] has been in contact with the Seattle and other Divisions of the FBI, concerning captioned matter. He states he has done considerable research in connection with an individual whom he feels is a suspect in captioned hijacking and has a book which he has pre- pared concerning this. He has obtained fingerprints of this individual and desires to furnish them to the FBI for comparison with latent fingerprints which were located in the aircraft following captioned hijacking. It should be noted that there were some latent fingerprints as well as palm prints located in the aircraft.

---

It has been explained to [REDACTED] that he can make available to the FBI, the fingerprints which he has and that a comparison will be made and he will be advised of the results. He states, however, that on advice of his attorney, he does not desire to make these fingerprints available until the FBI has signed an agreement with him that they will not prevent him from publishing his book. It has been explained that the FBI will in no way inter- fer with the publication of his book and that obviously an identification of the subject would be a great benefit for him in marketing his book. He has stated, however, that because of his attorney's advice, he desires to have an agreement signed prior to making the fingerprints available.
