OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.8 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

TO : SAC, MINNEAPOLIS (164-73) (P) DATE: 4/10/72

FROM : SAC RICHARD G. HELD

SUBJECT: NORJAK

---

SAC EARL MILNES, Seattle Division, telephonically advised at 4:15 p.m., this date, that important information has been received indicating that it is entirely possible that the highjacker of the United Airlines plane at Salt Lake City, Utah, is identical to the subject of captioned case. He stated that the Salt Lake City subject's picture is very similar to the artist's conception previously prepared on the NORJAK subject.

SAC MILNES requested that [REDACTED], Northwest Airlines, be contacted for the following information:

He requested that all tickets for flights from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, and Seattle, Washington, to Portland, Oregon, for the period 11/10/71 through 11/24/71 be checked to see whether any of them were listed under the following names:

RICHARD FLOYD MC COY R. MC COY D. COOPER or DAN COOPER

He stated that it had been determined that the subject of the Salt Lake City case had made a trial run a week prior to this highjacking, and it was the opinion of those at the Bureau that possibly the NORJAK subject did the same thing. If any ticket coupons are located under any of the above names all pertinent information regarding the flight should be checked out. This matter is to receive immediate attention.
