AI notes

Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Standard FBI FD-36 transmittal form header with checkboxes for transmission method, precedence, and classification, and a blank date line. None of the transmit-via or precedence checkboxes appear clearly marked; the classification checkbox area is ambiguous, possibly marking TOP SECRET. Continuation (page two) of an unclassified FBI teletype/message regarding the D.B. Cooper investigation, instructing that press inquiries be referred to the Seattle Division as the office of origin, and noting the subject is to be considered armed and dangerous. 'BT' marks the end of the teletype message. Footer approval/transmission signature line, left blank for approver and transmission number/time, with an archival reference number 'DB COOPER-55591' printed at bottom right.

Clear typewritten monospace text with minor scan speckle/noise throughout the page
Two solid black circular marks appear near the 'FBI' header; unclear if these are stamps, redaction dots, or scanning artifacts
Classification checkbox area is faint/ambiguous; cannot confirm with certainty which box, if any, is checked
