Standard FBI/US Government memorandum header identifying the memo as routed from SAC San Diego to SAC Seattle regarding the NORJACK (D.B. Cooper hijacking) investigation, with the date field redacted. A source at the Naval Training Center in San Diego reported to the FBI on 7/28/76 that an unidentified acquaintance claimed knowledge of a friend connected to D. B. Cooper, including that Cooper reportedly owns discos in Seattle and lives on a yacht near Seattle; a follow-up contact on 8/7/76 yielded no new information. Distribution list (Seattle and San Diego field offices), typist initials, a handwritten note reading 'Lynwood', an FBI Seattle office date stamp (AUG 20 1976) with search/index/serialize/file checkboxes, a partially legible case number stamp, and the standard Savings Bonds footer with document control number DB COOPER-55234.

Typewritten memorandum, generally clear and legible.

Bottom-right case number stamp is partially difficult to read.
Handwritten annotation 'Lynwood' appears near the bottom of the page, possibly a proofreading/cross-reference note.
