For information of Seattle. [REDACTED], Oregon, recently conducted a training session in which he instructed employees of the Portland Office in parachute jumping. During this association [REDACTED] became acquainted with SA RALPH P. HIMMELSBACH, Portland NORJAK case agent.

On 5/23/79, [REDACTED] requested an interview concerning captioned matter. On 5/24/79, [REDACTED] was interviewd by SA HIMMELSBACH at which time he furnished the following information:

At the time of captioned hijacking, [REDACTED] was [REDACTED] at Orchards, Washington, which is in the immediate proximity of the scene of the jump in this matter. He was interviewed by Seattle agents during the initial phases of this investigation and has been interested in the case because of his connection with parachuting. He has followed the progress of the investigation as reported in the media and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] each Thanksgiving at Ariel, Washington.

For approximately the last three years he has received little bits of information through a source whose identity he cannot presently divulge indicating the source has a connection with an individual who claims to have some knowledge of captioned hijacking. [REDACTED] has sent back questions through his source in an effort to find out as much information as possible and the picture which has returned to him is roughly as follows:

His source is indirectly in touch with an individual who claims to be a co-conspirator with the hijacker in this matter. The conspirator claims that the hijacker was a transient individual whom he met in a tavern. The two of them planned the hijacking with the co-conspirator to be the one who would pick up the hijacker
