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 Mr [guess: Mattson],
I read of your fruitless search for "D.B. Cooper" in the N.Y. Times.
Am wondering why the stewardess and passengers did not describe Cooper to an experienced police artist (N.Y.C. has an excellent one with success) and the drawing distributed nationally to all newspapers by the wire services and exhibited by national or TV networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) so that someone over the U.S.A. ? (relative, stranger) can telephone in.
