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.

ATTN: Store Managers
We quote the following letter from our [REDACTED b6] Please make certain no such items are stocked in your store.
"You will recall the Northwest Airline Highjacking by a Mr. 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.
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."
Sincerely,
[REDACTED b6/b7C]
