"CHANGED" NORJAK
The title is marked "Changed" to reflect the code word "NORJAK" to facilitate the handling of the numerous communica- tions in connection with this investigation. This matter was formerly captioned, "Unsub; Northwest Airlines Flight 305, 11/24/71, CAA - Hijacking. OO: Seattle." All offices are instructed to use the code word "NORJAK" in all communications in this investigation.
In connection with the additional dissemination of the ransom list already furnished the field, all offices are instructed to further disseminate this list on any basis considered practical and appropriately advise the Bureau and office of origin of any positive information developed. The loot in this matter consists entirely of $20 bills and it is questionable that large banks and bank-type institutions would effectively screen their $20 bills due to the volume of this type of bill that would be handled.
All offices should insure that the composite drawing of the unknown subject is thoroughly disseminated to parachute clubs and associated groups with particular attention being

given to individuals named Cooper whose description fits that of the unknown subject. All leads in this matter are to receive immediate and extensive investigative attention and are to be set out by telephone and confirmed by teletype. Keep the Bureau and the Seattle Office currently advised of all pertinent developments.
Consider the unknown subject dangerous.
