It should be noted that there is a vast discrepancy
between [REDACTED] age and that of the estimated age of UNSUB,
aka D. B. COOPER; however, his drivers license photograph does
resemble that of the composite drawing of COOPER.
---
It should be further noted that by Portland airtel
to Seattle dated 3/4/77 Portland advised that [REDACTED] was
formerly employed with Northwest Orient Airlines [REDACTED]
however, when airline employees went on strike he was furloughed
and for that reason was having severe financial difficulties
just prior to the hijacking incident.

LEADS:
SEATTLE DIVISION
At Seattle, Washington
Will contact appropriate officials of Northwest
Orient Airlines to determine if in fact [REDACTED]
was employed [REDACTED] with their airlines and whether or
not he was furloughed just prior to the hijacking. Will
thereafter interview airline personnel who observed UNSUB
and determine if [REDACTED] is known to them. Will
conduct other logical investigation to either eliminate [REDACTED]
as suspect or identify him as UNSUB.
