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.

April 9, 1972
Dear Mr. Milnes,
Although I have been checking all of my $20 bills against the list of bills that were paid to D. B. Cooper last November, I have been unable to find any in which you would be interested. I really don't think that Los Angeles attracts many hijackers anyway; perhaps [guess: Florida] would be a better place to look.
I am enclosing some newspaper clippings [guess: details] that you might not have seen in your Seattle newspapers. I realize that there is very little news from Los Angeles, but

ever since the Los Angeles F.B.I moved into a fancy new office building in an even fancier part of Los Angeles, their accomplishments, as chronicled by the news media, have been almost nil. I don't think that the image that the F.B.I. is trying to promote for themselves (that of the Chamber of Commerce type of businessman) is too conducive to luring informers out of their ratholes, nor would one think that the agent who attends black-tie dinners looks forward to spending his working days going into the seamier parts of Los Angeles to apprehend some dangerous and armed man. However, I'm sure that the F.B.I. can survive without my advice
Sincerely yours,
