Page header indicating this is page two of a teletype from the Seattle field office, case number 164-81. Continuation of a teletype describing a plan involving a fence (likely an undercover sting). An unidentified party will maintain contact with the fence until FBI surveillance coverage is in place, at which point the matter falls under FBI jurisdiction and the other party will withdraw. If the entire ransom amount is furnished, money will be held for FBI turnover. Someone will telephonically contact the Portland FBI office with serial numbers of sample bills to be compared against the D.B. Cooper ransom money serial number list. Teletype sign-off. 'END' marks the message conclusion. 'ACK FOR TWO TELS' requests acknowledgment for two teletypes. 'MRF FBI WA DC' indicates the message was relayed via or to FBI Washington, D.C. Bates-style page stamp identifying the document within the FBI's D.B. Cooper file collection. FOIA exemption codes annotated in the right margin indicating redactions made under Privacy Act (b6), source-identifying information (b7C), confidential source identity (b7D), and technique/procedure confidentiality (b7E).
