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.

FROM: SAC, SEATTLE (164-81)(P)
SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE
Being sent to the Bureau by pilot courier is one roll of microfilm listing the ranson paid in the captioned case.
Making reference to the xerox copies of three $20 bills which allegedly were in the possession of person identified as "D. B. COOPER" and given to [REDACTED] located on the microfilm and marked with a small piece of tape. These $20 bills are as follows:
L54904730A, series 1969
L33529797A, series 1969
L20168977A, series 1969
It was noted that only the right half of the bill was microfilmed. When these bills were located on the microfilm, a print was made and a copy was included.
It is presumed the Bureau already has a xerox copy of the three bills with the corner folded over as originally made available to Seattle.
The above film is being sent via Northwest Airlines Flight 78, departing Seattle at 9:15 a.m. April 27, 1972, Pacific Standard Time, and arriving Dulles International Airport, 4:55 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, April 27, 1972.
