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.

TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES:
On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727, bound from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, was hijacked on take-off at Portland.
The hijacker who boarded at Portland, and who threatened to detonate a bomb allegedly carried in his briefcase, was given $200,000 in used twenty-dollar bills and four parachutes, when the plane landed at Seattle. All passengers and part of the crew were then permitted to leave the plane.
The aircraft took off from Seattle, and the hijacker is believed to have left the aircraft, using the parachutes, over the southwestern part of Washington State.
The hijacker has not been identified and no trace has been found of him, the parachutes, or the money.
A composite description of the hijacker and two photographs of an artist's conception, are set out:
