At 8:20 PM on November 24, 1971, I talked to SA DON HANNING at the Bureau. I told him there was a substantial number of the members of the press in the immediate vicinity of the airport and they were extremely anxious to have a statement from the Bureau. I advised him that I proposed that I go to them and outline the essential facts of the case so far as sequence of events are concerned and the present status. In this, after checking with Northwest Airlines officials I would advise them that $200,000 had been paid to the kidnapper by Northwest Airlines, that four parachutes had been furnished to him, and that the plane was then aloft enroute to either Reno, Nevada, Sacramento, California or Medford, Oregon.
He advised this would be satisfactory.
