UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81)(P) DATE: 3/8/77

FROM : SA [REDACTED]

SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE BUfile 164-2111

RE: [REDACTED]

---

Investigation to date concerning [REDACTED] has failed to indicate that he is involved in captioned crime in any way. [REDACTED] supposedly resembles the artist's composite of UNSUB and he was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, while serving in the U.S. Army from [REDACTED]. In addition, [REDACTED] was discovered residing in Louisiana, living under an assumed name.

However, it is noted from a review of his military record that he was given a discharge from the military by [REDACTED]. In addition, he is described as 5'7", 123 pounds, blue eyes, ruddy com- plexion. In view of these discrepancies, no further investi- gation will be conducted concerning [REDACTED] at this time.

Standard FBI interoffice memorandum header identifying sender, recipient, subject (NORJAK case, Seattle office of origin, Bureau file 164-2111), and date March 8, 1977. Sender name and RE line are redacted. Memo body states that an unnamed individual (name redacted) investigated in the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case, who resembled the artist's composite of the UNSUB and had served in the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, was found living under an assumed name in Louisiana. However, his military discharge record and physical description (5'7", 123 lbs, blue eyes, ruddy complexion) created discrepancies with the suspect profile, so the FBI closed further investigation of this individual. The suspect designation 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS' appears as a standalone underlined line. Typist initials (RNN:arm) and a copy-count notation '(3)', accompanied by illegible handwritten cursive notes, one of which may read 'ELIMINATE' or 'ELIMINATED', possibly indicating the subject was ruled out. Routing/filing stamp showing case serial number 164-81-7399 and an FBI Seattle field office date stamp of March 8, 1977, with checkmarks/initials for searched, indexed, serialized, and filed. Standard pre-printed government form footer promoting payroll savings bonds, accompanied by a small printed emblem/logo, and a Bates/production number 'DB COOPER-55914' stamped in the bottom right corner.

Typed memo body is clearly legible.
Several fields are redacted with black-bordered boxes (privacy exemptions b6/b7C marked in right margin).
Handwritten cursive annotations near bottom left are partially illegible.
Bottom stamp block text is legible but slightly smudged in places.
