Memorandum

TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P) DATE: 1/30/76

FROM : SA [REDACTED b6/b7C]

SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE BUfile 164-2111

Re: [REDACTED b6/b7C]

---

It is noted that the parachute found by [REDACTED b6/b7C] is international orange and white, and that the four parachutes provided to UNSUB in this matter, three had entirely white canopies and one had a pink canopy. The one with the pink canopy was cut and used to hold the money.

In view of the fact that it is thought UNSUB para- chuted near the Washington/Oregon border and not near the Reno area, and in view of the fact that the parachute that [REDACTED b6/b7C] found was found near Reno, no further investigation concerning this aspect of the case will be conducted at this time.

Standard FBI interoffice memorandum header addressed to SAC Seattle regarding the NORJAK case (D.B. Cooper), dated January 30, 1976. The sender is a Special Agent whose name is redacted. The memo notes that a parachute found by a redacted individual is international orange and white, which does not match the four parachutes provided to the UNSUB (D.B. Cooper). Three of those had white canopies and one had a pink canopy that was cut to hold the ransom money. Since the UNSUB is believed to have parachuted near the Washington/Oregon border, not near Reno where this parachute was found, no further investigation on this lead will be conducted. Standard FBI warning designation for the NORJAK case subject. Typist initials (RNN:arm), number of copies (3), handwritten annotations and what appears to be a signature with a notation that may read 'CLEAN COPY'. FBI Seattle filing stamp showing the document was searched, indexed, serialized and filed on approximately January 30, 1976, with case serial number 164-81-6833. Standard government form footer with U.S. Savings Bonds promotional text, Bates stamp number DB Cooper-14257, and form number 5010-110.

Several redactions (b6/b7C privacy exemptions) obscure the FROM field, Re: field, a name in the body text, and portions of the filing stamp
Overall text is clear and legible
