AIRTEL AIRMAIL
TO : DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2111) ATTN: FBI LABORATORY
FROM : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (-P-)
SUBJECT: NORJAK
RE: UNSUB; "SEATTLE FLAG" DATED 5/10/72
---
Re Seattle teletype to Bureau 5/1/72; Seattle teletype to Alexandria and WFO dated 5/2/72 and WFO teletype dated 5/3/72 to the Bureau and Seattle.
Enclosed for the FBI Laboratory is one reel of microfilm which was prepared in connection with the $200,000 ransom money which eventually was paid to the hijacker in captioned case.
The above referenced Seattle teletype to Alexandria advised that a copy of the "SEATTLE FLAG" publication dated 5/10/72, was being sent to Alexandria and then to the Bureau via WFO. It is noted that on Page 2 of the "SEATTLE FLAG" there appears a reproduction of a $20 bill which allegedly bears serial number L 51279635 A, which is a serial number of one of the ransom bills.

REQUEST OF BUREAU
1. Compare the $20 bill appearing on the microfilm with the reproduction in the "SEATTLE FLAG" to determine whether or not it is authentic and thereafter advise Seattle.
The bill itself has been located on the microfilm and has been marked with a small piece of paper on the film itself. The approximate location of that bill on the film is approximately at the arrow which has been Scotch taped to the outside of the reel.
