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.

The writer instructs the recipient (likely FBI) on how to signal via a newspaper ad. If there is a reward, place two 'YES' responses in the ad, followed by a phone number abbreviation. The anonymous writer reiterates uncertainty about the suspect they are identifying but states that if anyone could have carried out the hijacking, this person could be the one. The writer thanks the recipient and begins a conditional statement about watching for the ad in a specific publication. The writer states that if they do not see the ad in a specified publication or by a specified date (redacted under FOIA b6/b7C exemptions), they will assume the FBI is not interested. Closes with thanks. FOIA exemption markings indicating redacted material is protected under Privacy Act (b6) and law enforcement source protection (b7C). FBI file reference/Bates stamp number for the D.B. Cooper case document.
