FROM : SC JOAN M. THOMAS

SUBJECT: NORJAK

On this date, [REDACTED] Portland, Oregon, home phone [REDACTED], telephonically advised that [REDACTED] Lake Merwyn, Washington. On her way home last night from the lot, she noticed a piece of white cloth in a tree on the left hand side of the road going north (approximately five miles from Lake Merwyn) between Fargerlake and Amboy, Washington. She advised the cloth appeared to be a heavy silk or possibly fiberglass material, was very ravelled on the edges and was about 18" long, 12" wide. She immediately thought of the D.B. Cooper case and thought it could be a piece of the parachute. She could direct an Agent to the site.
