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.

Thank you for your expression of interest in locating some of the missing $20 bills obtained by the hijacker "D. B. Cooper" on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971.
There were 10,000 bills given to the hijacker after all of the serial numbers had been recorded by the FBI. The Journal is in the process of reproducing those serial numbers in installments over several days so that readers may check bills in their possession against the list.
The newspaper's publication of the list started on Thursday, Feb, 22, 1973.
If it is impractical for you to see copies of the newspaper, may we suggest that you inquire at the closest FBI office to you whether you may obtain or inspect a copy of the FBI's official list. The telephone number of your nearest FBI OFFICE is usually found in the inside cover of your telephone book.
If you do discover that you have one of the missing bills, The Journal will pay you $1,000 for it if it is the first one to be turned in.
Good luck.
