Dear [REDACTED]:

---

Thank you for your letter expressing an interest in locating the missing $20 bills obtained by the hijacker, "D. B. Cooper" on Thanksgiving eve, 1971.

Due to the limited supply of ransom lists and the great demand for them, it is impractical as well as impossible to make copies of this list available to the public. However, if you feel you might have one of the $20 bills, you can call your local police or sheriff's office and check the serial number against their list. In addition, many banking insti- tutions throughout the country have a copy of the ransom list.

For your information, in addition to the $1,000 reward being offered by the Oregon Journal newspaper in Portland, Oregon, there is a reward of $25,000 being offered for the ransom money by Northwest Orient Airlines.

Thank you again for your interest in this matter.

Sincerely,

J. E. Milnes Special Agent in Charge
