2342 When flight was in RBL area, direct communications between MSPFO and the flight were interrupted. UAL 4331 and WAL 328 relayed messages to and from the flight for us.

2347 Flight now at 11,000', TAT -1°, all other factor essentially the same.

0005 58 DME N RBL VOR, 11,000', fuel aboard 22,000#. Only evidence from cabin was aft entry door and air-stair warning lights still ON.

0030 Flight switched to SFO ARINC on 130.6. MSPFO put on 'phone- patch this frequency at same time.

0017 Fuel aboard 17,300#.

0039* Descent from 11,000 to 9,000' started.

0049 Flight advised they were holding at RNO OM until they had everything "in order".

0100 Flight 1 mile out on final approach. (At this time, we-- MSPFO--were on telephone conference call. Other parties apparently on the same line were RNO Tower, FAA SEA, FAA Washington, FBI Washington. Not known whether anyone else might have also been tuned in.)

0101 Tower "talked us through" his touchdown, subsequent taxi- ing. Door did not appear to go to full down position until relatively low speed on roll-out. Flaps appeared to be "UP". Parked at NE (?) corner of terminal ramp.

0116 Tower reported crew had exited airplane; with FBI at this time.

Unknown After parking, crew had advised on SFO ARINC that one of them had gone back in cabin and found no sign of h.j. They had apparently last tried to contact him via interphone/PA at about 0046CST with no response. At that time they were going to advise him that the air-stair would have to be retracted for landing or that damage during landing roll-out would probably prevent subsequent take-off.

Two "little" 'chutes gone, one "big" one cut up, appar- ently to tie the money with shroud lines to h.j. One "big" 'chute apparently still on the airplane.

Guard requested around airplane, FBI apparently searching airplane.

DB Cooper-33770 0128 Was advised (all on conference call) at this time that matter was now under the jurisdiction of FBI in Washington. - 7 -
