SUBJECT: NORJAK

---

On 12/14/76, Mr. [REDACTED] Chief of Investigations, Air Transportation Security Division, Regional Office FAA, Seattle, Washington, telephonically advised that earlier that day he received a telephone call from [REDACTED] representing Allen Landsburg Productions, Inc., Los Angeles, California, their telephone number 213-273-7400, requesting cooperation of the FAA in doing a production on D. B. COOPER.

---

[REDACTED] explained they are going to do a feature of some type, entitled "Still At Large" which would include the saga of the D. B. COOPER hijacking of 11/24/71.

---

[REDACTED] explained that they would like to interview the FAA Air Traffic Controllers and do some "shooting" in the FAA facilities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in connection with that story.

---

Mr. [REDACTED] advised that he referred [REDACTED] to their Public Affairs Office at the FAA Regional Office, Seattle, and in addition, Mr. [REDACTED] also referred the matter to Mr. [REDACTED] Director of Civil Aviation Security Services, FAA, Washington, D. C.

---

Mr. [REDACTED] advised that it is a standard procedure of FAA that if any request is made to them along this line, that, where it is a commercial matter and obviously for profit, that they require that before any interviews are conducted that the FAA be furnished with a complete list of all questions and topics which would be asked.

---

Mr. [REDACTED] later advised that FAA has taken the stand that, since this matter is a pending investigation with the FBI and particularly in view of the recently handed down indictment at Portland in the D. B. COOPER case, they will not honor his request.
