D. B. Cooper in October, 1971. As a result, we have , had a number of subsequent highjackings using the same type of format with parachutes ransom notes, etc. Some even identifying themselves as D. B. Cooper. There have been attempts by many of the news media to glamorize, compliment and praise the actions of Mr. Cooper. It has gone on to a point of making him an actual “folk hero." To me this appears to be an act of great social irrespons- | ibility on the part of several individuals. Recently, “| there has been a production of a record "D. B. Cooper, Where Are You." This record is a Tex Hughes Record and is pressed on a 45 disc. The production company is Tom Bresh, Seattle Sound, 2227 - 56th Avenue North, Seattle. F I would not like to be a party of this irresponsible action by selling or handling these records in our stores, There also will be marketed a sweat-shirt idolizing Mr. D. B.Cooper. Likewise, we do not want to sell this product or any other product that will tend to stimulate the public heroic concept." Sinceyel b6 . b7C Z el ~ 2359 § In sue nol ii FEB28 1972 “7 FBI~—SEATTLE ee,
