SUBJECT: NORJAK (A) OO: SEATTLE

RE: ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW SUB NUMBER 933

Re Sacramento airtel to Seattle, dated 5/5/78.

Enclosed for the Portland Division is one (1) copy of referenced communication.

For the information of the Portland Division, RACKSTRAW has been suggested as a suspect in this matter because he resembles the artist's composite of Unsub, and because of his military background particularly his paratrooper training. He appears to be fully capable of successfully affecting the Norjak hijacking.

LEADS:

PORTLAND DIVISION

At Portland, Oregon

Will discuss with the United States Attorney's Office in Portland the feasibility of obtaining a subpoena for the palm prints of ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW. 164-41-1704

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
