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.

Oregonian receives note 'D. B. Cooper' gets around
"D. B. Cooper" has turned into a very prolific letter writer, and the ubiquitous skyjacker seems to be turn- ing up all along the Pacific Coast.
"D.B."'s first letter was to the Reno (Nev.) Gazette, in which he thanked the city for its hospitality. Thursday, a letter arrived at The Ore- gonian, informing its editors that "Am alive and doing well in home town P.O. The system that beats the sys- tem. D.B. Cooper."
The letter, composed from clipped magazine advertise- ments, was received appar- ently the same day a similar missive reached another newspaper, The Province of Vancouver, B.C.
"D.B." told The Province he had enjoyed the Canadian football championships on Vancouver television Sun- day, and also that a Federal Bureau of Investigation cir- cular showing his likeness, "does not represent the truth."
The FBI now has both The Oregonian and Province let- ters and is running finger- print checks. Agents doubt the same man is responsible for all three notes.
