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.

Skyjacker Inspiration for T-Shirt
PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) — "D. B. Cooper, where are you?" says the latest T-shirt inscriptions s p o r t e d by youngsters in Oregon as the search for a parachuting hi- jacker and his $200,000 ran- som continues without re- sults.
"D. B. Cooper," or whoev- er he was, hijacked a North- west Airlines jetliner on Thanksgiving eve. He para- chuted into the black night and anonymity somewhere over the rugged mountains between Seattle, Wash., and Reno, Nev.
The FBI said Thursday there was "nothing pertinent or particularly encouraging" in the hunt. He gave his name as "D. B. Cooper" when he purchased a ticket at Portland the night of the hijacking.
He collected his ransom with a bomb threat as the plane flew to Seattle. Then he allowed the passengers to disembark and he disap- peared out the aircraft's back entrance as it flew to- ward Nevada.
Newspapers in the Pacific Northwest have received let- ters purportedly signed by C o o p e r, but authorities would not comment on whether they are really from the hijacker.
