 INSTRUCTIONS

      The Freedom of Information Act entitles you to request any
 record maintained by a federal Executive branch agency. The
 agency must release the requested matieral unless it falls into
 one of nine exempt categores, such as "national security,"
 "privacy," "confidential source" and the like, in which case the
 agency may but is not compelled to refuse to disclose the
 records.
      This kit contains all the material needed to make FOIA
 requests for records on an individual, an orgnaization or on a
 particular subject matter or event.

 HOW TO MAKE A COMPLETE REQUEST

      Step 1:   Select the appropriate smaple letter. Fill in the
 blanks in the body of the letter. Read the directions printed to
 the right of each letter in conjunction with the following
 instructions:
      For organizational files: In the first blank space insert
 the full and formal name of the organization whose files you are
 requesting. In the second blank space insert any other names,
 acronyms or shortened forms by which the organization is or has
 ever been known or referred to by itself or others. If some of
 the organization's work is conducted by sub-groups such as clubs,
 committees, special programs or through coalitions known by other
 names, these should be listed.
      For individual files: Insert the person's full name in the
 first blank space and any vaiations in spelling, nicknames, stage
 names, marriage names, titles and the like in the second blank
 space. Unlike other requests, the signatures of an individual
 requesting her/his own file must be notarized.
      For subject matter or event files: In the first blank space
 state the formal title of the subject matter or event including
 relevant dates and locations. In the second blank space provide
 the names of individuals or group sponsors or participants and/or
 any other information that would assist the agency in locating
 the material you are requesting.
      Step 2:   The completed sample letter may be removed,
 photocopies and mailed as is or retyped on your own stationary.
 Be sure to keep a copy of each letter.
      Step 3:   Addressing the letters: Consult list of agency
 addresses.
      FBI: A complete request requires a minimum of two letters.
 Sen done letter to FBI Headquarters and separate letter to each
 FBI field office nearest the location of the individual, the
 organization or the subject matter/event. Consdier the location
 of residences, schools, work and other activities.
      INS: Send a request letter to each district office nearest
 the location of the individual, the organization or the subject
 blanks in the body of the letter. Read the directions printed to
 the right of each letter in conjunction with the following
 instructions:
      For organizational files: In the first blank space insert
 the full and formal name of the organization whose files you are
 requesting. In the second blank space insert any other names,
 acronyms or shortened forms by which the organization is or has

 committees, special programs or through coalitions known by other
 names, these should be listed.
      For individual files: Insert the person's full name in the
 first blank space and any vaiations in spelling, nicknames, stage
 names, marriage names, titles and the like in the second blank
 space. Unlike other requests, the signatures of an individual
 requesting her/his own file must be notarized.
      For subject matter or event files: In the first blank space
 state the formal title of the subject matter or event including
 relevant dates and locations. In the second blank space provide
 the names of individuals or group sponsors or participants and/or
 any other information that would assist the agency in locating

 organization or the subject matter/event. Consdier the location
 of residences, schools, work and other activities.
      INS: Send a request letter to each district office nearest
 the location of the individual, the organization or the subject
 matter/event.
      Address each letter to the FOIA/PA office of the appropraite
 agency. Be sure to make clearly on the envelope: ATTENTION--FOIA
 REQUEST.

 FEE WAIVER

      You will notice that the sample letters include a request
 for fee waiver. Many agencies automatically waive fees if a
 request results in the release of only a small number of
 documents, e.g. 250 pages or less. Under the Act, you are
 entitled to a waiver of all search and copy fees associated with
 your request if the release of the information would primarily
 benefit the general public. However, in January 1983, the Justice
 Department issued a memo to all federal agencies listing five
 criteria which requesters must meet before they are deemed
 entitled to a fee waiver. Under these criteria, a requester must
 show that the material sought to be released is already the
 subject of "genuine public interest" and "meaningfully
 contributes to the public development or understanding of the
 subject"; and that she/he has the qualifications to understand
 and evaluate the materials and the ability to interpret and
 disseminate the information to th epublic and is not motivated by
 any "personal interest." Finally, if the requested information is
 already "in the public domain," such as in the agency's reading
 room, no fee waiver will be granted.

      You should always request a waiver of fees if you believe
 the information you are seeking will benefit the public. If your
 request for a waiver is denied, you should appeal that denial,
 citing the ways in which your request meets the standards set out
 above.

 MONITORING THE PROGRESS OF YOUR REQUEST

      Customarily, you will receive a letter from each agency
 within 10 days stating that your request has been received and is
 being processed. You may be asked to be patient and told that
 requests are handled cafeteria style. You have no alternative but
 to be somewhat patient. but there is no reason to be complacent
 and simply sit and wait.
      A good strategy is to telephone the FOIA office in each
 agency after about a month if nothing of substance has been
 received. Ask for a progress report. The name of the person you
 talk with and the gist of the converstaion should be recorded.
 try to take notes during the conversation focusing especially on
 what is said by the agency official. Write down all the details
 you can recall after the call is completed. Continue to call
 every 4 to 6 weeks.
      Good recordkeeping helps avoid time-consuming and
 frustrating confusion. A looseleaf notebook with a section
 devoted to each request simplifies this task. Intervening
 correspondence to and from the agency can be inserted bewteen the
 notes on phone calls so that all relevant material will be at
 hand for the various tasks: phone consultations, writing the
 newsletter, correspondence, articles, preparation for media
 appearances, congressional testimony or litigation, if that
 course is adopted.

 HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ...
 AND WHAT TO DO IF YOU DO NOT

      After each agency has searched and processed your request,
 you will receive a letter that announces the outcome, encloses
 the released documents, if any, and explains where to direct an
 appeal if any material has been withheld. There are four possible
 outcomes:
      1.   Request granted in full: This response indicates that
 the agency has released all records pertinent to your request,
 with no exclusions or withholdings. The documents may be enclosed
 or, if bulky, may be mailed under separate cover. This is a very
 rare outcome.
      Next Step: Check documents for completeness (see
 instructions below).
      2.   Requested granted in part and denied in part: This
 response indicates that the agency is releasing some material but
 has withheld some documents entirely or excized some passages
 from the documents released. The released documents may be
 enclosed or, if bulky, mailed under separate cover.
      Next step: Check documents released for completeness (see
 instructions below) and make an administrative appeal of denials
 or incompleteness (see instructions below).
      3.   Request denied in full: This response indicates that
 the agency is asserting that all material in its files pertaining
 to your request falls under one or the nine FOIA exemptions.
 These are categories of information that the agency may, at its
 discretion, refuse to release.
      Next step: Make an administrative appeal (see instructions
 below). Since FOIA exemptions are not mandatory, even a complete
 denial of your request can and should be appeals.
      4.   No records: This response will state that a search of
 the agency's files indicates that it has no records corresponding
 to those you requested.
      Next step: Check your original request to be sure you have
 not overlooked anything. If you receive documents from other
 agencies, review them for indications that there is matieral in
 teh files of the agency claiming it has none. For example, look
 for correspondence, or references to correspondence, to or from
 that agency. If you determine that there are reasonable grounds,
 file an administrative appeal (see instructions below).

 HOW TO CHECK FOR COMPLETENESS

      Step 1: Before reading the documents, turn them over and
 number the back of each page sequentilaly. The packet may contain
 documents from the agency's headquarters as well as several field
 office files. Separate the documents into their reqpective office
 packets. Each of these offices will have assigned the
 investigation a separate file number. Try to find the numbering
 system. Usually the lower righthand corner of the first page
 carries a hand-written file and document number. For instance, an
 FBI document might be marked "100-7142-22". This would indicate
 that it is the 22nd document in the 7142nd file in the 100
 classification. As you inspect the documents, make a list of
 these file numbers and which office they represent. In this way
 you will be able to determine which office created and which
 office received the document you have in your hand. Often there
 is a block stamp affixed with the name of the office from whose
 files this copy was retrieved. the "To/From" heading on a
 document may also give you corresponding file numbers and will
 help you puzzle out the origin of the document.
      When you have finally identified eahc document's file and
 serial number and separated the documents into their proper
 office batches, make a list of all the serial numbers in each
 batch to see if there any any missing numbers. If there are
 missing serial numbers and some documents have been withheld, try
 to determine if teh missing numbers might reasonably correspond
 to the withheld documents. If not, the realease may be incomplete
 and an administrative appeal should be made.
      Step 2: Read all the document released to you. Keep a list
 of all document referred to the text--letters, memos, teletypes,
 reports, etc. Each of these "referred to" documents should turn
 up in the packet released to you. If any are not in the packet,
 it is possible they may be among those document withheld; a
 direct inquiry should be made. In an administrative appeal, ask
 that each of these "referred to" documents be produced or that
 the agency state plainly that they are among those withheld. Of
 course, the totals of unproduced vs. withheld must be within
 reasons; that is, if the total number of unproduced documents you
 find referred to the text of the documents produced exceeds the
 total number of documents withheld, the agency cannot claim that
 all the referred to documents are accounted for by the withheld
 categoty. You will soon get the hand of making logical
 conclusions from discrepancies in the totals and missing document
 numbers.
      Another thing to look for when reading the released
 documents if the names of persons or agencies to whom the
 document has been disseminated. the lower left-hadn corncer is a
 common location for the typed list of agencies or offices to whom
 the document has been directed. In addition, there may be
 additional distribution recorded by hand, there or elsewhere on
 the cover page. There are published glossaries for some agencies
 that will help in deciphering these notaitons when they are not
 clear. Contact FOIA, Inc., if you need assistance in deciphering
 the text.
      Finally, any other file numbers that appear on the document
 should be noted, particularaly in the subject of the file is of
 interest and is one you have not requested. You may want to make
 an additional request for some of these files.

 HOW TO MAKE AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL

      Under the FOIA, a dissatified requester has the right of
 administrative appeal. the name and address of the proper appeal
 office will be given to you by each agency in its final response
 letter.
      This kit contains a sample appeal letter with suggesting for
 adapting it to various circumstances. However, you need not make
 such an elaborate appeal; in fact, you need not offer any reasons
 at all but rather simply write a letter to the appeals unit
 stating that "this letter constitutes an appeal of the agency's
 decision." Of course, if you have identified some real
 discrepanices, you will want to set them for fully, but even if
 you have not found any, you may simply ask that the release be
 reviewed.
      If you are still dissatisfied after the administrative
 appeal process, the FOIA gives you the right to bring a lawsuit
 in federal district court on an expedited basis.

 SAMPLE ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL LETTER

 Date:
 To:  FOIA/PA Appeals Office
 RE:  Request numer [Add this if the agency has given your request
 a number]
      This is an appeal pursuant to subsection (a)(6) of the
 Freedom of Information Act as amended (5U.S.C. 552).
      On [date], I received a letter from [name of official] of
 your agency denying my request for [describe briefly the
 information you are after]. This reply indicated that an appeal
 letter could be sent to you. I am enclosing a copy of my exchange
 of correspondence with your agency so that you can see exactly
 what files I have requested and the insubstantial grounds on
 which my request has been denied.
      [Optional paragraph, to be used if the agency has withheld
 all or nearly all the material which has been requested]:
      You will note that your agency has withheld the entire (or
 nearly the entire) document (or file, or report, or whatever)
 that I requested. Since the FOIA provides that "any reasonably
 secregable portion of a record shall be provided to any eprson
 requesting such record after deletion of the portions which are
 exempt," I believe that your agency has not complied with the
 FOIA. I believe that there must be (additional) segregble
 portions which do not fall wihtin FOIA exemptions and which must
 be released.
      [Optional paragraph, to be used in the agency has used the
 (b)(1) exemption for national security, to withhold information]
      Your agency has used the (b)(1) exemption to withhold
 information [I question whether files relating to events that
 took place over twenty years ago could realistically harm the
 national security.] [Because I am familiar with my own activities
 during the period in question, and know that none of these
 activities in any way posed a significant threat to the national
 security, I question the designation of my files or portions of
 my file as classified and exempt from disclosure beca8use of
 national security considerations.]
      [Sample optional argument to be used if the exemption which
 is claimed does not seem to make sense; you should cite as many
 specific instances as you care to of items withheld from the
 documents that you ahve received. We provide two examples which
 you might want to adampt to your own case.]
      "On the memo dated _____________ the second paragraph
 withheld under the (b)(1) exemption appears to be describing a
 conversation at an open meeting. If this is the case, it is
 impossible that the substance of this converation could be
 properly classified." Or, "The memo dated _____ refers to a
 meeting which I attended, but a substantial portion is deleted
 because of the (b)(6) and (b)(7)(c) exemptions for unwarranted
 invasions of personal privacy. Since I already know who attended
 this meeting, no privacy interest is served by the withholding."
      I trust that upon examination of my request, you will
 conclude that the records I requested are not properly covered by
 exemption(s) [here repeat the exemptions which the agency's
 denial letter claimed applied to your request] of the amended
 FOIA, and that you will overrule the decision to withhold the
 information.
      [Use if an itemized inventory is not supplied originally]
      If you choose instead to continue to withhold some or all of
 the material which was denied in my initial request to your
 agency, I ask that you give me an index of such matieral,
 together with the justification for the denial of each item which
 is still withheld.
      As provided in the Act, I will expect to receive a reply to
 this administrative appeal letter within twenty working days.
      If you deny this appeal and do not adequately explain why
 the material withheld is properly exempt, I intend to initial a
 lawsuit to compel its disclosure. [You can say that you intend to
 sue, if that is your present inclination; you may still decide
 ultimately not to file suit.]

 Sincerely yours,
