[REDACTED] at that time was employed by [REDACTED]
[REDACTED], Portland, Oregon. That firm may now
be doing business under the name [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] stated that during the period of his
acquaintance with [REDACTED], he gave no outward indication
that he was considering a hijacking. The only reason
[REDACTED] is contacting the FBI is that in view of a recent
article wherein an FBI official felt that D. B. COOPER
was deceased, he felt because of the close resemblance
between [REDACTED] and the D. B. COOPER composite, the matter
should be checked out.

[REDACTED] also requested that the source of the above
information be kept strictly confidential, and that the
FBI's inquiries into the matter should not reveal his
identity.
