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.

[REDACTED], WASHINGTON, STATED THAT CONCERNING THE EYES, THE EYES APPEARING IN PHOTO O B SEVEN DASH TWELVE, PAGE TWENTYNINE, WITH HEAVY LIDS AS APPEARING IN PHOTO O B EIGHT DASH TWELVE, PAGE THIRTYONE, WERE SIMILAR TO UNSUB.

PRESIDENT NIXON IS QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT UNSUB HAD. HAIR SHOULD BE SLICKED DOWN AS CHARACTERS WORE IN OLD GEORGE RAFT MOVIES. NOSE IN ARTIST'S CONCEPTION TOO PINCHED, SHOULD BE BROADENED IN AREA OF NOS- TRILS. CHEEKS TOO FLAT, SHOULD BE MORE ROUNDED TO GIVE MEXICAN- AMERICAN APPEARANCE. CHIN AREA GOOD. CHEEKS SHOULD BE AS IN PHOTO O G ONE DASH FIVE, PAGE NINETY THREE, OR O H ONE DASH FOUR, PAGE NINETYNINE IN FACIAL IDENTIFICATION CATALOGUE.

[REDACTED], SEATTLE, ADVISED THE HIJACKER WAS WEAR- ING DARK GLASSES WHEN [REDACTED] SAW HIM AND HE WAS UNABLE TO FUR- NISH ANY PARTICULARS ABOUT THE HIJACKERS EYES. AFTER STUDYING THE ARTIST'S SKETCH OF THE HIJACKER, [REDACTED] MADE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS. HE STATED THAT THE HIJACKER HAD A BROADER NOSE, WIDER FOREHEAD AND FACE IN GENERAL, THAN THAT DEPICTED IN THE SKETCH. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE HIJACKERS' HAIRLINE WAS SOMEWHAT LOWER THAN THE SKETCH AND THE HIJACKER'S GLASSES HAD SQUARER CORNERS THAN THE ROUND CORNERED GLASSES DEPICTED IN THE SKETCH. END PAGE TWO

[REDACTED] ADVISED THAT UNSUB WAS WEARING SUNGLASSES AND HE NEVER SAW HIS EYES. WITH RESPECT TO THE ARTIST'S SKETCH, [REDACTED] ADVISED THAT IF THE FACE WERE WIDENED ONE SIXTEENTH OF AN INCH, SKETCH WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT LIKENESS TO UNSUB. HE DESCRIBED UNSUB'S SUNGLASSES AS SLIGHTLY WRAP-AROUND STYLE, DARK BROWN. [REDACTED] WHO IS [REDACTED] PENNED IN SOME CHANGES
ON THE ARTIST'S SKETCH AND THIS IS BEING FURNISHED TO THE BUREAU BY FACSIMILE.

PORTLAND DIVISION SUBMITTING RESULTS OF INTERVIEW WITH WITNESS [REDACTED] WHO HAS RETURNED TO EUGENE, OREGON.
[REDACTED] NORTHWEST AIRLINES, PORTLAND, OREGON, [REDACTED] ON INSTANT FLIGHT, ADVISED HE HAS LOOKED AT FACIAL IDENTIFICATION CATALOG AND SELECTS THEREFROM PHOTO NO. KB EIGHT DASH SIXTEEN.

AVERAGE EYES, OF LATIN APPEARANCE, WITH A SHORT OF DISINTERESTED LOOK, LET'S GET IT OVER WITH LOOK. [REDACTED] THOUGHT ARTIST'S CONCEPTION WAS VERY GOOD OVERALL, EXCEPT THE HAIR DID NOT RECEDE QUITE SO MUCH AS HE REMEMBERS IT, IT WAS A LITTLE MORE CURLY AND DE- FINITELY SHORT. HE ALSO THINKS THE NOSE AND FACE SLIGHTLY TOO THIN, ALTHOUGH NOT MUCH. FEELS ARTIST'S SKETCH MAKES HIM LOOK YOUNGER THAN HE IS.
---
WITNESS [REDACTED] SAID THE CHIN AND CHEEKBONE OF COMPOSITE PHOTO ARE SIMILAR TO KH ONE DASH EIGHT AND FACIAL LINES SIMILAR TO KK SIX DASH THREE. THE NECK AND CHIN OF UNSUB APPEAR AS IF HE HAD BEEN FAT AND LOST WEIGHT, LEAVING SOME FLABBY SKIN. EVERY- THING FROM NOSE UP IS GOOD. MOUTH IS ALSO GOOD. OVERALL PIC- TURE OF COMPOSITE MAKES UNSUB APPEAR YOUNGER THAN HE ACTUALLY IS.
