What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

(SUCCESSFUL SKYJACKER) #1174
PORTLAND, ORE. (UPI)--THE RIGHT $20 BILL CAN GET YOU $1,000 IN PORTLAND, ORE.
THIS IS ONE LOTTERY THE FBI HOPES SOMEBODY CASHES IN ON.
D.F. COOPER INVENTED IT.
THE ORIGINAL SKYJACKER, AND ONLY SUCCESSFUL ONE, STILL AT LARGE WITH $200,000 IN RANSOM, COOPER JUMPED WITH THE MONEY FROM A NORTHWEST AIRLINES PLANE THANKSGIVING EVE TWO YEARS AGO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SEATTLE AND RENO.
THE OREGON JOURNAL HAS OFFERED $1,000 REWARD TO ANYONE WHO FINDS A BILL FROM THE COOPER HAUL, WHICH THE NEWSPAPER DESCRIBED AS 'THE AIRCRAFT HIJACK THAT CHANGED COMMERCIAL AIR TRAVEL FOR EVERYONE.'
IT HAS DONE THAT.
THE SO-CALLED 'STERILE CONCOURSE' CONCEPT IS IN FORCE AT AIRPORTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. UNDER THE SYSTEM NO ONE ENTERS AN AIRCRAFT FEEDING AREA WITHOUT SCREENING.
THE JOURNAL IS RUNNING A LIST OF THE SERIAL NUMBERS ON THE $20 BILLS TAKEN BY COOPER AS AN AID TO THE PUBLIC SEARCH FOR THE RANSOM[.]
[SAID,] THE FBI SAYS THE LIST OF 10,000 SERIAL NUMBERS IS AVAILABLE [AT] ALL FBI OFFICES AROUND THE NATION. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A D.F. COOPER GAME PLAYER.
