Re Seattle airtel to Sacramento dated 4/7/78.

Suspect RACKSTRAW was approached by SA [REDACTED] on 4/24/78, at the San Joaquin County Jail, French Camp, California, and he refused palm prints or interview without permission of his attorney. He identified his attorney as [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] was contacted and he advised SA [REDACTED] that he did not desire to have his client interviewed concerning NORJAK, but that he was agreeable to palm prints being taken.

On 5/4/78, SA [REDACTED] returned to the jail to take the palm prints, but RACKSTRAW again declined and advised that he wanted SA [REDACTED] to contact his attorney, [REDACTED] Oakland, California, telephone [REDACTED]. He stated that [REDACTED] is his primary attorney, [REDACTED] in Calaveras County.

[REDACTED] was telephonically contacted by SA [REDACTED] on 5/4/78, and he advised that it would be necessary for the government to get a court order to obtain the palm prints. He stated RACKSTRAW has denied being D. B. COOPER, but he does not want his client interviewed concerning it nor will he cooperate in the investigation as it might possibly not be in RACKSTRAW's best interest.
