Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was con- ducted. Among the files reviewed were the main volumes, numbered 1 through 47, sub-files designated for particular areas of interest, i.e., Parachutes, Witnesses, Course, 1-A volumes and numerous suspect files. In addition, an examina- tion was made of all physical evidence being maintained at Seattle, for pertinent investigative leads.

As a result of this review, the following suggestions are being proposed:

REWARD: This case has generated world-wide attention and many suspects have been suggested and are continuing to be received. However, since nothing of value has yet been developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial reward for information leading to the identification and conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come forward and name the hijacker.

To be realistic, the reward would have to be attractive to the person furnishing the information and therefore, a sum of not less than $25,000 is recommended.

The reward money could be provided either by the Department of Justice, or by the airlines, or by both. The only reward at the moment is $5,000, offered by the Seattle, Washington newspaper SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER "Secret Witness Program."
