Standard FBI FD-36 teletype transmittal form header, dated December 13, 1971, sent via NITEL in plaintext. Routing block directing teletype from SAC Seattle to SAC Anchorage (via Washington D.C.) and Portland. Original NORJAK subject line (UNSUB aka Dan Cooper, NW Airlines Flight 305, hijacking/extortion) is struck through and replaced with the single word 'NORJAK' in handwriting. Body of teletype references prior communications (NITEL of 11/29/71, airtel of 12/3, SE teletype of 12/8, PD teletype of 12/10). States that a named suspect (redacted under b6/b7C privacy exemptions) has been eliminated as the hijacker and directs discontinuation of the investigation of that individual. Bottom of FD-36 form showing handwritten file number 164-81-1158, approval line for Special Agent in Charge, sent notation, and Vault page identifier DB Cooper-4309.

Some struck-through text in subject line is still legible
Redacted blocks marked b6/b7C obscure suspect name
Handwritten case number and routing marks at bottom
