Standard U.S. Government memorandum form header addressed from an FBI Special Agent/source (name redacted) to the Special Agent in Charge, Seattle field office, dated 11/14/76, regarding the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper hijacking) investigation. A female informant/source in Yakima, Washington telephoned to report that a newspaper photo of D. B. Cooper resembled a man she knows from Pasadena, California — described as a parachutist in his early 50s, 5'7"-5'8", who makes frequent trips to Mexico, has an apparent connection to the Elite Cleaners on Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena, and appears to have no shortage of money. The source has a photograph of the individual and asked that her identity be protected. FBI routing/administrative stamp recording that the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on November 14, 1976, referencing case file number 164-81. Handwritten routing notations and what appear to be an agent's initials/signature and the name 'Harris', likely indicating routing or lead-assignment annotations on the memo. Standard U.S. Government form footer promoting payroll savings bonds, alongside an archival page identifier 'DB COOPER-55761'.

Printed typewritten text is generally clear and legible.
Multiple redaction boxes (black bars/boxes) obscure names, locations, and identifying details, marked with FOIA exemption codes b6, b7C, b7D.
The case-number stamp near the bottom (e.g. '164-81-9186') is partially overlapped by the SEARCHED/INDEXED/SERIALIZED/FILED stamp and is difficult to read with full confidence.
Handwritten annotations ('spr', a scrawled initial/mark, 'Lead', 'Harris') are cursive and of lower confidence transcription.
