Teletype header showing a coded NITEL message sent from Portland FBI office at 13:53 PM on 10/19/73 to the Director and field offices in Boston, Houston, Kansas City, and Seattle.
Handwritten routing notation indicating the document should be copied to file 164-81.
First case reference block for an ITSP (Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property) matter with Office of Origin Houston. Bureau file, Kansas City file, and Portland file numbers are redacted under b6/b7C exemptions.
Second case reference block for an UNSUB (unknown subject) matter with Office of Origin Portland. Subject's AKA and file numbers are redacted.
Body of the teletype references a prior Kansas City NITEL to the Bureau dated 10/11/73. It connects two cases: one redacted UNSUB case (OO: Portland) and the D.B. Cooper case involving the hijacking. The airline name appears as 'NORTHEAST AIRLINES' though the actual hijacking involved Northwest Orient Airlines — this may be a transcription artifact or shorthand in the original document.
Handwritten case or file number notation adjacent to the Cooper case reference.
Handwritten initials and routing notations, largely illegible due to scan quality.
FBI Seattle field office processing stamp indicating the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on October 19, 1973.
Document tracking identifier from the FBI Vault D.B. Cooper file collection.
Scanned photocopy with some degradation Multiple redacted boxes (b6/b7C FOIA exemptions) Handwritten annotations and stamps partially legible Some characters ambiguous due to scan quality Scan order ← p. 369 p. 371 →
