DEPOSITS OF TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS OR EXCHANGES OF TWENTY DOLLAR
BILLS FOR OTHER BILLS OR ANY RECENT RENTAL OR UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN
AN ALREADY RENTED SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX WHEREIN THE HIJACKER MIGHT
HAVE STASHED THE RANSOM MONEY IN THIS MATTER. TO ACHIEVE WIDE
CIRCULARIZATION OF THE RANSOM LIST, SEATTLE HAS ARRANGED WITH
A SEATTLE NEWSPAPER TO PRINT A SHORT FEATURE ARTICLE INFORMING THE
PUBLIC THAT THE LIST OF RANSOM BILLS HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT IF THEY FEEL THEY HAVE ONE OF
THE RANSOM BILLS THE NUMBER MAY BE CHECKED THROUGH THEIR LOCAL
POLICE DEPARTMENT OR THROUGH THE FBI OFFICE.

RECEIVING OFFICES ARE REQUESTED TO CONTACT APPROPRIATE NEWS-
PAPERS IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP BEFORE THE PUBLIC THE FACT THAT THE LIST
OF THE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS, PAID
TO THE HIJACKER, IS AVAILABLE FOR CHECKING THROUGH THE LOCAL POLICE
DEPARTMENTS OR FBI OFFICE. -P-
