On 12/2/71 RON STAMP of Sacramento said that they had arranged to get an SR 71 from Beale AFB, California, to fly and photograph the entire flight path and then to interpret the photographs later in an attempt to locate any foreign objects, particularly the parachutes. He wanted us to send him a map showing the flight path and headings in Washington and Oregon.

I had one of the maps which we obtained from SAGE sent to him by courier on the night of 12/2/71. This was handled by SA[REDACTED]

On the morning of 12/3/71, after receiving a WFO teletype indicating that they were still negotiating for the NASA plane, I called STAMP to be sure to keep the Bureau and WFO advised of his progress. Subsequently he did send a teletype to the Bureau.
