Teletype routing header from New York FBI field office (file 164-627) to Portland and Seattle offices, dated December 3, 1971, marked URGENT. Case identification line referencing the UNSUB (unknown subject) on Northwest Airlines Flight 305, November 24, 1971, classified as a CAA hijacking with Seattle as the office of origin. New York FBI office reports that a person at Magazine Management (625 Madison Avenue, NYC) received a four-page article from a person in Portland, Oregon describing details of the Northwest Airlines hijacking. The article, sent by certified mail, is described as fiction but appears identical to newspaper accounts. Portland office is asked to check indices and consider contacting the author regarding the article mailed to "Men Only" magazine, and to ascertain if the author's physical description matches the UNSUB. NYO is obtaining the original article for FBI Laboratory latent fingerprint examination. End-of-message notations including initials RMB, FBI PD CLR, a handwritten note indicating the matter was covered by telephone to NYC, and a Portland FBI office filing stamp dated December 1971. Privacy Act exemption markings (b6 and b7C) indicating redactions were made under FOIA exemptions for personal privacy and law enforcement purposes.
