Re Seattle letter to Knoxville dated 3/26/80.

Enclosed for Seattle are two copies of self- explanatory memo to file dated 5/29/80 detailing information furnished to Knoxville Division by [REDACTED] b6 re captioned matter. b7C

For information of Seattle, enclosed memo details the conversation held between SA [REDACTED], Knoxville b6 Division and [REDACTED]. Review of the information b7C furnished by [REDACTED] indicates nothing specific or verifiable at this time. It is believed by the Knoxville Division that [REDACTED] furnished this information on a pretext in an attempt to establish some credibility with the Knoxville Division inasmuch as several FBI Divisions have ongoing investigations involving [REDACTED]. Historically, [REDACTED] has been to cooperate with Federal and local law enforcement authorities only when it would be beneficial to him.

[REDACTED] was shown the four artist conceptions b6 that were enclosed with the referenced communication. [REDACTED] b7C advised that drawing number 3 most resembled [REDACTED] friend with the only changes being a thinner facial structure and a hairline that receded more.

Knoxville will maintain contact with [REDACTED] in b6 an attempt to develop more specific information. Inasmuch b7C as no positive information was developed, this matter is being ruc'd.

Header of an internal FBI memorandum from Knoxville field office to SAC Seattle regarding the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) hijacking case, dated May 29, 1980. Handwritten annotation, likely a routing or filing notation. The memo describes a Knoxville Division SA's conversation with a redacted individual who furnished information about the NORJAK case. The Knoxville Division found nothing specific or verifiable and believes the individual provided information as a pretext to gain credibility, as multiple FBI divisions have ongoing investigations involving this person. The individual was shown four artist conceptions and stated drawing number 3 most resembled a friend, with a thinner facial structure and more receded hairline. Knoxville will maintain contact but the matter is being RUC'd (Referred Upon Completion) due to lack of positive information. Distribution and leads section indicating copies sent to Seattle (with 2 enclosures) and Knoxville. Handwritten routing annotation. FBI Seattle field office filing stamp showing the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on May 6, 1980.
