[REDACTED], Anchorage, Alaska, was interviewed and provided the following information:

He advised he had worked on the Alaska Pipeline at Valdez, Alaska with an individual named [REDACTED], whom he recalls telling him that the FBI had questioned him about D. B. COOPER. [REDACTED] related that one evening when [REDACTED] had been drinking he began talking about D. B. COOPER and the fact that the statute of limitations was about to run out on the matter. At that time, [REDACTED] did not discuss the matter further.

About one year ago, while [REDACTED] was visiting Seattle, Washington, he saw sketches of D. B. COOPER on television and thought there was some resemblance to [REDACTED]. He advised that [REDACTED] used to boast about being [REDACTED] and working on the design of the type of aircraft from which COOPER allegedly parachuted.

[REDACTED] stated that [REDACTED] was the kind of person who desired recognition and liked to receive attention. He stated he had no further information regarding this matter and had not heard [REDACTED] say that he was D. B. COOPER, nor had he heard him discuss it in any greater detail than already related.
