Dear Mr. Wright:

SUBJECT ".
Regl (b)(5)
r-413711 Z2,(
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. Section 552, et seq. (as amended), I hereby
request disclosure of the documents described on the attached page of this letter for inspection and possible copying. If
you regard any of these documents as potentially exempt from the FOIA's disclosure requirements, I request that you
nonetheless exercise your discretion to disclose them. As the FOIA requires, please release all reasonably segregable
nonexempt portions of documents which contain information you regard as exempt. To permit me to reach an
intelligent and informed decision whether or not to file an administrative appeal of any denied material, please describe
any withheld records (or portions thereof) and explain the basis for your exemption claims.
This request is made on behalf of the National Security Archive, a nonprofit public interest research institute
and library in Washington, D.C. The Archive is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization whose purpose is to enrich public
policy debate by making widely available records on important areas of major public concernpn foreign, defense and
intelligence policy. Documents obtained by the Archive, including the records requested in this letter, are carefully
analyzed, indexed, organized into collections and published. Archive document collections are also available for
inspection and copying at the Archive by scholars, journalists, members of Congress and their staffs, present and former
public officials, other public interest organizations, and the general public. Information in these documents is
disseminated across the country through distribution of our published collections to research libraries and through the
Archive's other publishing and media activities. I am conducting research on the subject of this request as part of an
Archive research team which includes experts on the subject and which already has done extensive research and
determined that the requested materials are necessary to our project.
Please also waive all fees in connection with this request. In National Security Archive v. U.S. Department of
Defense, 880 F.2d 1381 (D.C. Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 110 S Ct. 1478 (1990), the Archive was declared entitled to a
waiver of all search and review fees under the FOIA as a "representative of the news media." This request also qualifies
for a waiver of duplication fees because disclosure of the information in the requested documents is in the public interest
since release to us of these records, which directly relate to the formation of U.S. policy on the subject, is likely to
contribute significantly to greater public understanding of the operations or activities of the government in making that
policy. Should you decline to waive or reduce all duplication fees, we are prepared to pay normal reproduction costs if I
decide to copy the records produced, but please describe your specific reasons in writing and notify us before incurring
costs over $100.
To expedite the release of the requested documents, please disclose them on an interim basis as they kicome
available to you, without waiting until all the documents have been processed. If you have any questions regar(ag the
identity of the records, their location, the scope of the request or any other matters, please call me at [phone]. I
look forward to receiving your response within the ten-day statutory time period. Cj

NOTE: This request merits a waiver of all fees because any documents yielded
by it will contribute significantly to public understanding of U.S.
government operations and activities and will be published in an upcoming
document set. As a representative of the news media, I agree to pay any
legally assessable copying costs less than $100. If the fees generated by
this request will be greater than $100, I request that you advise me of that
before incurring such costs.
