Teletype routing header from Washington Field Office to FBI Director and field offices in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle, marked URGENT, dated April 22, 1972. Case name NORJAK (FBI code name for the D.B. Cooper hijacking case) with a handwritten signature or initial to the right, partially legible as 'Wd [illegible]'. Washington Field Office reports that a Northwest Airlines stewardess (name redacted) was located in Washington, D.C. and shown a spread of seven photographs including one of the suspect wearing sunglasses and a knit cap. She was unable to make a positive identification but stated the photograph most closely resembled the hijacker out of approximately 300 photographs she had reviewed. She noted similarities in mouth, nose, lips, and style of sunglasses, but said the hijacker's face was thinner than the individual in the photograph. FBI Seattle field office filing stamp indicating the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed, dated approximately April 1972. Handwritten case file number notation in the right margin, likely a Seattle field office sub-file reference. Bates number or document reference number for the DB Cooper FBI Vault release.

Some redacted boxes obscure names per b6/b7C FOIA exemptions
Handwritten signature partially legible at upper right
