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.

On [REDACTED]/72, an individual registered [REDACTED] under the name [REDACTED]
After staying [REDACTED] for one week, [REDACTED] left and has not been heard from or seen since. During his stay [REDACTED] frequently flashed a stack of $20 bills and spent money freely.

Due to the [guess: vast] discrepancy between the description supplied for [REDACTED] and the NORJAK Unsub, a [guess: new] bank robbery [guess: suspects] program [guess: also was] opened in the Portland Division and investigation initiated in that regard.
On 4/18/73, [REDACTED] was contacted at [REDACTED] Oregon, by SA [REDACTED] At that time [REDACTED] supplied an identical description of [REDACTED] as set forth above. She again advised that [REDACTED] was definitely no more than 5'4" in height and weighed approximately 125 pounds. She advised that [REDACTED] comment to her that he had been a paratrooper while in the Armed Forces from 1945 to 1947, made her suspect that he could possibly have been the NORJAK Unsub.

After advising of the above, [REDACTED] was displayed an artist's a sketch of the NORJAK Unsub. She advised that [REDACTED] facial characteristics are similar, however, [REDACTED] could not possibly be identical with DAN COOPER due to the extreme difference in height and weight.
Due to the above, unless advised to the contrary by the Bureau, no further investigation will be conducted regarding [REDACTED] as the NORJAK Unsub. However, investigation will continue in the Portland Division concerning [REDACTED] under the bank robbery suspects program.
