Teletype header indicating a NITEL (night teletype) message sent at 7:34 PM on February 1, 1973, from Minneapolis (file 164-73) to Seattle (file 164-81). Minneapolis field office reports that a Special Agent formerly of the Glasgow Resident Agency, now in Minneapolis, contacted another SA to report that a person associated with the Seattle Police Department, known by an alias, bears a strong resemblance to the artist conception of D.B. Cooper. The individual now has white hair and was described as a 'shakedown artist' capable of doing anything. The informant did not know the subject's true name. Seattle is instructed to attempt identification and resolve possible connection to D.B. Cooper. Butte Division furnished a copy. Subject noted as armed and dangerous. Handwritten note reading 'copies', likely indicating distribution instructions. FBI Seattle processing stamp showing the document was searched, indexed, and serialized on February 1, 1973, with file reference 164-81-4395. FBI Vault page reference number for the D.B. Cooper file. Handwritten annotation at top right with FOIA exemption codes b6 (personal privacy), b7C (law enforcement - personal privacy), and b7D (law enforcement - confidential source) noted in the right margin, indicating the basis for redactions.

Multiple redacted blocks throughout the document obscure names and identifying details
Some text near margins and stamps is slightly degraded
