On 11/30/71, the Bureau sent out a new artist's conception without glasses and requested we show it to witnesses. Subsequently I called [REDACTED] in Division 6, and told him witnesses [REDACTED] did not see subject's eyes; they saw him only with the dark glasses. I told him with regard to witness [REDACTED], that this witness thought the eyes were "good." This witness still maintains however, that the forehead should be slightly broader; the nose around the nostrils should be broadened and the cheeks were to flat and should be made rounder.

[REDACTED] requested that we send him a teletype on this and also forward the artist's conception in which our witness had drawn in his suggested changes. This was done.

[REDACTED] threw the following out for our guidance, instruction and consideration:

1. He said in our initial teletype, page 5, we have one witness saying that the subject carried a dark colored attache case and a paper bag 4"x12"x18". He wonders if this paper bag could have contained a jump suit and a pair of boots.

2. In the same teletype, there was mention that a witness scuffled with the subject. I told him that I had already discussed this with the Agents involved and this was a wrong choice of words and that the word should have been "hassel" and that there was actually no scuffle and the witness had not had to separate the two, but merely stepped in to end an argument.

3. [REDACTED] wanted to know if we had enlisted hiking clubs and other outdoor groups to aid in the search.
