FBI airtel/memo from SAC Seattle to SAC Oklahoma City in the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case, reporting that a redacted individual, on 5/18/76, identified a photo of John Richard Merit (taken 11/4/69 at USP Leavenworth) as the same person who had spoken of a plan to hijack an airplane; Oklahoma City closes its investigation (RUC - Referred Upon Completion). A faint, mostly illegible handwritten line appears below the main body text; content cannot be determined. Distribution list showing copies routed to Seattle and Oklahoma City field offices, with typist initials JLH and enclosure/copy count of 3. A handwritten routing/sub-file stamp in a drawn box, referencing sub-file 811 and case number 164-81-6979, with additional illegible cursive notation. Handwritten sub-file number written near the top of the memo, matching the stamp at the bottom of the page. Bates/archive numbering stamp identifying this page within the FBI Vault DB Cooper collection.

Typed body text is clear and fully legible.
Two fields are covered by redaction boxes (blacked-out/whited-out) with FOIA exemption codes b6, b7C, b7D noted in the margin.
Bottom-right handwritten stamp is largely illegible cursive aside from the numbers/case identifiers.
