Re Portland teletype to Bureau, 12/7/81.

Referenced teletype set forth information relating to an incident on the morning of 12/3/81 in which an individual claiming to be "D. B. Cooper" presented himself at the Portland Police Bureau. An officer of the Portland Police Bureau subse- quently contacted the Portland Office of the FBI and spoke to b6 Security Patrol Clerk [REDACTED] requesting that an Agent b7C be dispatched to interview this individual. Based upon information furnished to [REDACTED], she declined to dispatch an Agent and asked that the Police Bureau attempt to obtain a photograph and any other identifying data so this individual could be interviewed at a later date. This incident became the subject of an article in the 12/7/81 issue of the "Washington Post" and inaccurately identified [REDACTED] as a Special Agent and incorrectly stated that the FBI had no one available to interview this individual.

As stated in referenced teletype, the Portland Office has received numerous phone calls from individuals claiming to be D. B. Cooper, claiming to have part of the ransom money, or stating that they have information as to D. B. Cooper's correct identity.
