Re Seattle airtel to Bureau dated 5/12/76.

Contact with media outlets regarding requests as set forth in referenced airtel has determined that before media outlets will even consider printing a volume of serial numbers, the matter must be a current, constant highlight news interest (such as the first case), and must have a constant meaningful local interest to the readership.

There are no newspapers, magazines, or similar publications located within the Los Angeles Division that would be in a position to make space available to publish such a volume of serial numbers as involved in captioned case.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

Los Angeles field office responds to Seattle's May 12, 1976 airtel regarding publishing serial numbers of the ransom money in media outlets.

No publications in the Los Angeles Division area were willing or able to publish the serial numbers for the NORJAK case. Includes standard 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS' warning. Distribution notation indicating 2 copies to Seattle, 2 copies to Los Angeles, total of 4 copies. Typist initials crs/aml.
