AI notes

Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

FBI teletype dated September 9, 1975, from the Alexandria field office to the Director, Seattle, and WFO offices, reporting that Alexandria advised the Bureau on September 4, 1975 that contact had been made with a redacted individual regarding suspect Jerry Arthur Cooper. The contact arose from an anonymous tip to Fairfax County, Virginia police suggesting Cooper might be identical to D.B. Cooper, subject of the NORJAK hijacking case. Margin annotations including two unreadable solid black circular stamps near the top of the page, a handwritten cursive note and file/serial number near the bottom right, a single handwritten initial 'F', and a printed Bates-style exhibit stamp 'DB COOPER-54579' used to identify the page within the FBI Vault D.B. Cooper release.

Photocopy/scan shows pervasive character-level degradation: many instances of the letter 'N' render as a broken glyph resembling 'ñ' and many instances of 'D' render as a glyph resembling 'P', consistent across repeated words (e.g., DIRECTOR, DIVISION, ALEXANDRIA, SEPTEMBER, ADVISED). This allowed high-confidence reconstruction of most body text.
Top-most line of the page (above the time/date line) is too degraded to reliably transcribe.
Several digits in routing/file numbers in the TO/FROM header are partially obscured; reconstructed digits are marked with [guess].
A boxed/redacted area is present in the body text where identifying information has been withheld, annotated in the margin with FOIA exemption codes 'b6' and 'b7C'.
