PURPOSE: To report observations and recommendations resulting from the Norjak conference held at San Francisco, California, 4/8-9/76, with representatives from FBIHQ, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, and San Francisco in attendance.

SYNOPSIS: A conference was held at San Francisco, California, 4/8-9/76, to determine present status (both prosecutive and investigative) of captioned case and in an effort to develop new ideas assisting in the identification and location of subject of captioned case, also known as Dan Cooper, D. B. Cooper. The feasibility of reinstituting a terrain search was discussed and eliminated due to the ruggedness of the terrain, the dollar cost anticipated, and the extremely large amount of manpower which would be necessary. The investigation to date was gone over step by step and determined to be, by all attendees, full and complete. An idea to reinitiate a reward offer by a source outside of the Bureau, such as Northwest Orient Airlines, for the location and turn-in of any one of the bills making up the ransom package was made and believed to be our best opportunity to create public interest in the possible solution of this case. This idea is written out in depth in the details of this memorandum and a recommendation to initiate this idea is set out in the recommendation paragraph.
---
RECOMMENDATION: That a publicity campaign be set up in detail for release in early November, 1976, widely publicizing a reward (exact amount yet to be determined) for any twenty dollar bill turned in from the ransom list published in various media, periodicals, and possibly local newspapers. If approved, General Investigative Division, Special Crimes Unit, will immediately take steps to initiate this publicity effort.
