Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Teletype header showing date 2/12/72, plaintext classification, and urgent priority. Teletype routing block showing Kansas City file number KC 164-80 and page two designation. Routing and addressee information heavily redacted. Continuation (page two) of a teletype regarding the DB Cooper UNSUB investigation. The UNSUB's physical description and smoking habit reportedly match favorably with a person named WEISER. Dallas office is instructed to obtain background information and a photograph to determine if the individual is a possible subject. Miami and Atlanta are directed to determine if the subject is based in one of those cities and to conduct leads. Seattle is advised. References to Dallas, Texas and a time period in the 1960s, and later overseas employment. Transmission notation indicating this teletype was sent via telephone to Seattle, referencing Seattle file number 164-81. Dictated by agent with initials DAS, transcribed by cb. Page 2 of 2. Date stamp showing approximately February 4, 1972, likely an FBI routing or receipt stamp. FBI Vault document tracking number for the DB Cooper case file. FOIA exemption codes marked in the right margin indicating redactions made under Privacy Act exemptions b6 and b7C.

Multiple redacted blocks (b6/b7C privacy exemptions) obscure names, addresses, and identifying details
Photocopy artifacts and slight skew reduce clarity in some lines
Some words partially obscured by redaction bars or degraded reproduction
