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.
