Teletype header showing Minneapolis field office case number 154-73, page two of multi-page message. A redacted individual at Northwest Airlines (NWAL) contacted Univac Computer Systems around July 1973 and was told that passenger recording tapes for all NWAL flights are retained only six months before being erased and reused. As a result, no passenger lists exist for NWAL flights from Portland to Seattle during the period November 13–23, 1971 — the window surrounding the D.B. Cooper hijacking. Minneapolis field office notes it will maintain contact with NWAL officials. Standard 'armed and dangerous' warning for the Cooper case subject is included. Standard teletype sign-off codes indicating end of message. FOIA exemption codes b6 (personal privacy) and b7C (law enforcement personal privacy) marking the redactions on this page. FBI Vault sequential page/document identifier for the D.B. Cooper file.

Typewritten teletype text with moderate scan quality
Several redaction boxes obscure names/identifiers
Date '7/33/73' appears to be a typographical error in the original; likely 7/30/73 or 7/23/73
FOIA exemption markers b6 and b7C visible in right margin
