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.

FBI issues list of bills in hijacking
A 34-page list of serial numbers of the $20 bills giv- en to the parachuting hi- jacker known as D. B. Cooper on Nov. 24 has been widely distributed to banks and other places where the bills are likely to be passed, Vincent Ruehl, assistant spe- cial agent in charge of the Portland office of the FBI, said Wednesday.
The list indicates the 10,000 $20 bills given the hijacker were numbered in groups of numerical sequence, Ruehl said, but added he was un- certain if all the bills' serial numbers are known.
"If any of the money turns up, at least we'll have some- thing to go on," Ruehl said.
The hijacker, who com- mandeered the jet after it took off from Portland, is be- lieved to have bailed out with the money somewhere between Seattle and Reno. An intensive search of South- west Washington turned up nothing.
