FBI Airtel header identifying it as an air-mail teletype/memo from SAC Butte to SAC Denver regarding the NORJAK case (D.B. Cooper investigation), originating office Seattle. Identifies the subject of the memo as Franklin John Painter, alias Nick Leuis, cross-referenced as SUB 766. Butte field office reports that a credit bureau in Nampa, Idaho, has records on Nick Leuis dating to 1973, including a paid collection and an outstanding medical-claim collection, and lists his previous address in Battle Ground, Washington. Standard FBI copy-distribution routing list showing recipient offices and copy counts, plus preparer initials. Date-received stamp (OCT 31 1975) with an illegible handwritten signature/initials, plus a handwritten archival case reference number for the D.B. Cooper file.

Page has heavy microfiche/halftone dot screening noise throughout, reducing character sharpness.
Numeric file number on 'TO' line is ambiguous between '154-98' and '164-98' due to screening artifacts; transcribed as '164-98' based on consistency with the 164-classification series used elsewhere on the page (164-26, 164-2111, 164-81).
Two black redaction/marker dots appear at top of page, likely artifacts from the original document or scanning process, not FOIA redaction blocks.
Handwritten annotations (case number, date stamp, signature) are cursive and only partially legible.
