FBI NITEL (night teletype) dated December 13, 1971, transmitted at 5:20 PM from Los Angeles field office (file 164-497) to Seattle (164-81) and San Diego. Subject: NORJAK (D.B. Cooper case). References a prior Butte teletype to Los Angeles and Seattle dated November 30, 1971. Reports that a redacted suspect in Montana bears a striking resemblance to the artist's sketch of the UNSUB. During interviews of redacted individuals in California, a redacted source advised they would discount the redacted subject as a possible suspect. The suspect was described as having blond hair and blue [eyes, implied], with age and birthplace redacted. Message ends 'END PAGE ONE,' indicating continuation. Bottom of page contains a cursive initialing signature (likely routing or review initials), a San Diego field office serialization/receipt stamp referencing sub-file 164-91 and dated approximately December 1971, and the document pagination label 'DB Cooper-65'.

Document is clearly typed teletype; multiple redaction blocks (b6, b7C, b7D exemptions) obscure personal identifiers
Bottom stamp partially legible; date partially obscured
Handwritten initials at bottom left are cursive and largely illegible
Right edge slightly clipped but no meaningful text lost
