in February 1980 at TENA BAR (Not TINA's Bar) was photographed by news media and appeared in the paper at the time. Refer them to public sources.
9. FBI photographs of search of Tena Bar. Press photos of the search appeared at the time. We should not release any photos produced by the FBI.
10. Information about the condition of money that was found compared to the how the money had been packaged when provided to COOPER. Details of the money as presented to COOPER contain useful holdback details which should not be discussed. We can tell them that the serial numbers of the found money matched the batch of bills given to COOPER during the hijacking.
11. Copy of the geologist report submitted to the FBI concerning the possible point of origin of the money found at Tena Bar. This was a report commissioned by the FBI and is evidence. It should not be provided.
12. Documents pertaining to the investigation of Richard McCoy. McCoy was a subject of a Salt Lake FBI case. Information determined about McCoy cannot be provided by Seattle. McCoy's Salt Lake case is particularly sensitive as he was later shot by the FBI after having drawing a gun while being arrested for prison escape and Bank Robbery. Recent attempts by the FBI Salt Lake have been made (at Seattle's request) to get cooperation of family members.
13. Information about physical evidence recovered from NW 305. The FBI never provides information about physical evidence recovered during a criminal pending investigation.

Please bear in mind that all of the above items have been sought repeatedly during a variety of unsuccessful FOI requests. I don't think we can treat Granite Productions any differently that these requestors, especially since there is no benefit to the case to do so. Otherwise a bad precedent would be set, both for this case and for other old pending major FBI investigations.
