Reference Seattle letter to Minneapolis dated 5/23/79.

Enclosed for Seattle are the original and two copies of an FD-302 reflecting interview with [REDACTED] [REDACTED] of Northwest Orient Airlines and an airplane decal which was enclosed in referenced letter for Minneapolis.

On 7/19/79, [REDACTED] advised that the probability that this decal came from the same aircraft hijacked by COOPER is about ninety-nine per cent. He noted that there is a slight difference in the color of the lettering of the decals placed on the aircraft and that recovered. This, of course, could be accounted for by the weather conditions. The second thing noted by [REDACTED] is that the decal does not appear to be as worn as one would think after having been located in the out state area for the past eight years. He thought that a decal in this condition would have been handled by preditors more than it appears. [REDACTED] suggested that perhaps the Bureau could contact the manufacturer of the decal in order to determine if the decal could withstand the weathering conditions and still be in this condition.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
