FBI 164-81, Vault Part 65 p. 120 (DB Cooper-27361), Memo, dated 26 Nov 1971, serial SE 164-81-66 (as read from the transcript) — cooper.theunsolved.net/parts/Cooper-Part-65/pages/120
On November 25, 1971, at 3:55 PM, I called SA
ROBERT PETERSON at the Bureau. I told him that since the
Army would not furnish any helicopters, the Navy at Whidbey
Island NAS, Oak Harbor, had agreed to furnish two which
could be used if permission was obtained from National Military
Command Center in Washington, D. C. I asked him to make this
request.
---
At 6:20 PM, SA PETERSON called and advised that
an [REDACTED] had called and advised that the
Army at Fort Lewis would furnish two helicopters; however,
they would need "J.P. 4" fuel. I told him this could be
arranged.
---
A [REDACTED] from Fort Lewis then called at 8:15
and advised two helicopters would be at the Woodland air
strip approximately one hour after dawn, weather permitting.
I told him that they should meet SA MANNING
at that point who would brief them on the search to be
conducted.
