FBI NITEL teletype routing header dated December 7, 1971 at 5:41 PM. Sent from Minneapolis field office (file 164-73) to Director and multiple field offices including Seattle, New York, Springfield, Portland, and others. Body of teletype identifies the subject case as the hijacking/extortion of Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Portland to Seattle, November 24, 1971. References prior teletypes from New York (Dec 3), Norfolk (Dec 3), Seattle (Nov 30), and Springfield (Dec 1). Origin office (OO) is Seattle. This is page one of a multi-page teletype. Handwritten annotations listing suspect names with associated numbers (likely ages or sub-file references): Ben Leibsen (50, coded E6), Daniel C. Cooper (65), Donald Otis [Burnette?] (48), Douglas Cooper (96), Ronald Lee White (70). A reference number '5057?' is also noted. Two redaction boxes under b6/b7C exemptions obscure additional handwritten content. Header annotations 'SUB - TICKET' and 'EVIDENCE' appear to categorize the document sub-type. FBI Seattle filing stamps showing document received and processed on December 7, 1971. Cross-references DB Cooper master file number 45400, sub 96. File number 164-81-790 appears with 790 struck through. Standard serialization/filing boxes present. Two black circular stamps (likely document control or routing markers) appear at the top of the page; the number '10' is handwritten between them, possibly a page or sequence number.
