On November 24, 1971, Special Agents (SAs) [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] met a Western Tours Bus bearing passengers who had recently deplaned from Flight 305 at Concourse B2 of the Seattle-Tacoma Terminal. The Agents boarded the bus and identified themselves as Special Agents of the FBI to a Port of Seattle Police Official and an Airline Official who were standing in the doorway. These officials then left the bus.

SAs [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] then identified themselves to the passengers of the bus. SAs [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] then determined that there were 36 passengers on the bus plus the driver, [REDACTED].

SA [REDACTED] took a verbal roll call of all passengers who boarded at Portland. Nineteen passengers answered when their names were called. No one answered when the name D. COOPER was read.

SA [REDACTED] then requested the passengers leave the bus and proceed to the VIP Lounge immediately adjacent to the B2 entrance where they would be interviewed by FBI Agents. The passengers then exited the bus and proceeded to the lounge.
