RE: FOIA Request
Dear Coordinator,
ch iddle Easte n Policy
Under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. subsection 552, I am requesting declassification and
release of all cross referenced CIA files related to uranium diversion from the Nuclear Materials and
Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) to Israel. This request includes, but is not limited to CIA content
provided for publication in the now declassified 1978 GAO report titled "Nuclear Diversion in the U.S.?
13 Years of Contradiction and Confusion."
We request a waiver of all fees for this request as a nonprofit, tax exempt research organization.
Disclosure of the requested information to IRmep is in the public interest because it is likely to
contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is
not primarily in our commercial interest.
If you have any questions about handling this request, please call me at 202-342-7325.
Sincerely,
(b)(6)
Grant F. Smith
Director of Research
