Teletype header identifying the message as plaintext, sent 12/6/71 via NITEL, transmitted 12/7/71, directed to Baltimore from Seattle field office (case file 164-81). Case caption identifying the subject as UNSUB aka Dan Cooper, Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Portland to Seattle, November 24, 1971, CAA hijacking and extortion case. Origin office: Seattle. Body of teletype reporting that information was received identifying a suspect (redacted) who was involved in an auto accident near Philadelphia on December 2, 1971. The investigating officer noted the individual resembled the artist's conception of the UNSUB in the DB Cooper hijacking. According to a redacted source, the individual was present on Thanksgiving Day, November 25. A lead is directed to Baltimore to contact the redacted individual in Maryland by telephone, or otherwise determine if the suspect was present on November 24-25, 1971, in order to logically eliminate him as a suspect. Message closing with END, followed by originating agent initials TJP, FBI Baltimore clearance notation, a partially legible case/serial reference number, and the FBI Vault document identifier DB COOPER-45557.

Teletype format, mostly clear typeface
