Enclosed herewith to the Bureau and Seattle are news clippings from the "Oregon Journal," Portland, Oregon, daily newspaper, for the weekdays of 11/22-12/14/73, publicizing the NORJAK case. In addition to the clippings, there are forwarded to Bureau and Seattle the complete front pages of the 11/22, 11/23, 11/26 and 11/27/73, editions of this paper. These pages are being forwarded in their entirety to illustrate the prominent front page coverage the "Oregon Journal" gave this story.

ROLLA J. CRICK is the author of these articles, and he spent considerable time and effort preparing for publication. I believe this coverage again demonstrates his constructive, enthusiastic cooperation with this office.

Numerous leads have been received from all over the country as a result of this publicity. Radio and television publicity in various parts of the country has been a spin-off of the CRICK series.

It is recommended the Bureau consider sending ROLLA J. CRICK an appreciative letter over the Director's signature. Letter should be addressed as follows: Mr. ROLLA J. CRICK, Staff Writer, "Oregon Journal," 1320 SW Broadway, Portland, Oregon, 97201. There is nothing in Portland files which would preclude sending this letter.
