Sul — PARACHUTES C.e — EVIDENCE [guess: SEE EXPENDEL]

---

An individual named [REDACTED] [REDACTED], Washington, telephoned on 12/1/71. He said that [REDACTED] two parachutes to Northwest Airlines which they in turn, had placed on board and one of these, the back pack shute, had been recovered by our Las Vegas office when the plane landed in Reno. He said this chute had a "pioneer harness" of a type which was no longer made and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] new chutes but this would not be the same.

I told him that these chutes were being maintained as possible evidence at this point and I did not see how they could be returned to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] write a letter. I told him when the letter was received we would discuss it with the USA and give him an answer.
