On 12/20/71, FLOYD WASHBURN, Manager, U.S. Parachute Service, 6976 E. Baseline, Mesa, Arizona, was contacted regarding captioned matter. WASHBURN stated he was familiar with this matter and believed the subject would have had to have been a sporting parachutist and parachute rigger in order to accomplish his feat.
WASHBURN indicated a listing of licensed parachutists is maintained by the U.S. Parachute Association in Monterey, California. The U.S. Parachute Association has supposedly instituted a policy approximately two years ago wherein they have on file photographs of all licensed parachutists. Inquiries made to the U.S. Parachute Association should be directed to [ ] California.
Although it is noted approximately 40 percent of the nation's parachutists are licensed, this could conceivably be a worthwhile lead for office of origin in this matter.
Phoenix will attempt to conduct appropriate investi- gation to ascertain the location of the list for licensed parachute riggers.
