Standard US Government interoffice memorandum header. Addressed to SAC (Special Agent in Charge) with recipient name redacted. Sender line shows 'SC' with name redacted. Subject line fully redacted. Date is February 6, 1975. Handwritten annotation near the subject line, likely a suspect designation or sub-file reference. An anonymous caller contacted the FBI office on 2/4/75 claiming to be a well-established, well-known man in Tacoma, WA. He reported that a friend of his has knowledge about the D.B. Cooper hijacking case, and that the friend's associate is actually D.B. Cooper, who hijacked a plane in Seattle (referenced as SEfile 164-81). The suspect allegedly was picked up after bailing out of the aircraft. On 2/5/75 the same anonymous caller called back reporting he obtained more information from his friend. The details provided are heavily redacted but the friend apparently shared additional claims, though the substance is obscured by privacy redactions. The caller's friend has apparently known about the suspect for some time but has been reluctant to notify authorities. The friend reportedly has no idea how certain other individuals fit into the Cooper case. The anonymous caller promised to call again if he obtains more information. Distribution and filing notations at the bottom of the memo, showing case file number 164-81, DB Cooper serial number 13297, and DCA routing with 4 copies. Standard government form footer with savings bonds advertisement. FBI filing stamp showing the document was processed (searched, indexed, serialized, filed) on February 6, 1975. Handwritten case file sub-number, likely a serialization reference for filing under the main 164-81 Cooper case file.

Multiple redaction bars obscure names, locations, and details throughout the document
Privacy exemption codes b6, b7C, b7D visible in right margin
