Re: RANSOM MONEY

The ransom money obtained by Northwest Airlines was microfilmed by the [REDACTED b6/b7C]. The original roll of film contained on one reel, was picked up by SA [REDACTED b6/b7C] and sent to the Laboratory by United Airlines courier. Since the above roll of film contained the serial numbers of $230,000, it was necessary to furnish the serial numbers of the $30,000 which was not included in the ransom (the ransom being $200,000).

Because the Laboratory was having difficulty with eliminating the serial numbers, they requested we obtain the complete list of serial numbers which were deleted from the original listing of the $230,000.

In the meantime, the [REDACTED b6/b7C] had prepared another amount of ransom money of $230,000 and included in that, the $30,000 which had been taken from the first ransom money as mentioned in paragraph one above.

The [REDACTED b6/b7C] then loaned to us, two reels of microfilm which contains their current ransom money and which included the bills which had been taken from the first ransom money. These two rolls of microfilm were sent to the Laboratory and were used to compile an accurate list of the ransom money given to the hijacker.

All three reels of film returned by the Bureau with the following dispositions:

The reel containing the ransom money given to the hijacker is being maintained in the Seattle Office as evidence.
