Re Detroit airtel to Chicago dated 12/5/75.

On 1/6/76, [REDACTED], United Airlines (UAL), Chicago, Illinois, was contacted regarding UAL flights from Chicago, Illinois, to Tri-City Airport, Freeland, Michigan, on 12/2/75.

[REDACTED] was advised of the contents of referenced Detroit airtel and advised that the UAL co-pilot was pro- bably referring to UAL pilot DONALD O. BURNWORTH, UAL Number 021048, who is currently based in Denver. [REDACTED] advised that BURNWORTH was previously investigated by the FBI as a suspect in captioned case.

[REDACTED] advised that there are seven UAL 727-type aircraft flights daily to Tri-City Airport and that the route is flown by crews generally not based in Chicago.

Chicago will leave the decision whether or not to conduct further investigation into this matter due to discretion of Seattle inasmuch as the facts related seem to relate to the investigation regarding DONALD O. BURNWORTH.
