FBI memorandum from SAC Sacramento to SAC Seattle, dated 10/19/76, in the NORJACK (D.B. Cooper) case, forwarding a copy of a California driver's license belonging to Phillip Lee Woodward and flagging him as armed and dangerous.
Handwritten annotation appearing to note the subject's approximate age (32) at the time of the robbery and height (5'9"), followed by the word 'ELIMINATE' underlined and a parenthetical '(N)', suggesting Woodward was ruled out as a suspect.
Diagonal handwritten routing/file notations repeating the sub-file number and case serial numbers, likely added by records/filing personnel.
Standard FBI records-processing stamp with checkboxes for Searched/Indexed/Serialized/Filed, a partially legible date, and illegible initials.
Distribution/copy list (Seattle and Sacramento field offices), typist initials 'HVC:ema', a standard government footer promoting Payroll Savings Bonds with an eagle/Minuteman logo, and the archival page label 'DB COOPER-55269'.
Typed portion of memo is clear and high-contrast Handwritten annotations in the body (age/height/'ELIMINATE' block) are cursive and partly ambiguous Diagonal handwritten routing numbers near top-right and bottom-right are faint and hard to fully resolve Date stamp in the routing box at bottom right is partially cut off/illegible
