FBI teletype/memo from SAC Seattle to SAC Portland regarding the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case, noting that a parachute canopy found and furnished by Jack Lee Harelson, along with half of Portland's remaining ransom list copies, is being sent to Seattle for examination and comparison to the parachute used by the unidentified subject (Unsub). Handwritten sub-file annotation near the top of the page. Copy distribution list showing three copies to Seattle (one accompanying the package, marked RM) and two copies to Portland, with typist initials RPH:lbn and a page/copy count of 5. Vertical handwritten margin notes, likely routing or filing initials/dates, largely illegible. Handwritten sub-file annotation repeated above the routing stamp. FBI Seattle field office routing/filing stamp with case/serial number and a date of late October 1976, including checkmarks for searched, serialized, indexed, and filed. Archival/collection identifier printed at the bottom of the page, consistent with FBI Vault D.B. Cooper file numbering.

Typed body text is clear and legible.
Handwritten annotations (top right, bottom left, bottom right) are faint and partially illegible.
Routing/date stamp at bottom right is legible but the day-of-month digit is ambiguous.
