Then riddle me this:  If Diane is his tape recorder, why would he say
something like (paraphrased) "take this directly to Albert, don't go to
<whoever>.  Albert seems to have more on the ball"?  Obviously Albert 
got the info just like DCooper wanted.  No, I'm firmly convinced that
Diane is a real person.  I'm not sure, though, whether she's Cooper's
secretary/assistant or a superior.  Perhaps she's a peer, and works out
of "the home office."  Maybe she's the food editor at the FBI newsletter...

"Agents lucky enough to travel to the northwest U.S. will find a grand 
selection of coffee, gum, chocolate bunnies, and donuts...and a cherry 
pie that'll kill ya."  .-)
