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.

Dear Sir,
Reference: My letter of February 24, 1972, Subject: "D. B. Cooper."
Apparently Mr. "D. B. Cooper" is still at large. Perhaps my first letter was ignored as a "witchhunt." Granted, my interest is in a reward. My limited knowledge of this person all points to a perfect "D. B. Cooper."
I have retouched a "D. B. Cooper" composite picture to more closely resemble my suspect. A reproduction of this picture is shown below.
If you haven't made any headway in your investigation, may I suggest that you photograph various views of this man and record his voice at calm and anger moods. Then the plane passengers and crew who are available could either identify or exonerate him.
I remember the following additional information about him: He had been in the merchant marine. He was treated at the Public Health Hospital, located at 15th Avenue and Lake Street, San Francisco, California for liver or kidney operation. Perhaps they told him he has only a limited future. He has a yellowish complexion and usually a grim expression.
Yours truly,
