Dear [redacted]

---

B[a/u]sed on information which you have provided to this office, it is my understanding that you have conducted investi- gation and developed information concerning an individual who you feel is "D. B. Cooper," the individual who skyjacked a Northwest Airlines flight between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971. I further understand that you have located fingerprints of this individual. If you will make these fingerprints available to this agency, they will be for- warded to our Identification Division where they will be compared with latent impressions that were located on the skyjacked air- craft. In the event the Identification Division is unable to identify the fingerprints you submit as identical with the latent impressions from the aircraft, you will be advised by letter, within five business days of completion of the examination. This letter will be sent to you by registered mail, at the above address. A copy will also be sent to your attorney, [redacted] [redacted]

If an identification is not made it may be because your fingerprints and the latent impressions are not from the same individual or because the fingerprints you submit or impres- sions from the aircraft are from different portions of the same hands and therefore are not comparable.
