- Effector4.00 - ACCESSING THE NSA JOHN GILMORE FILES SUIT WITH THE NATIONAL
- SECURITY AGENCY. At the beginning of July 1992, John Gilmore filed a FOIA
- request with NSA asking for access to parts of cryptologic treatises
- written by NSA personnel - Military Cryptanalysis, Parts III and IV, by
- William Friedman (WF-3/4); and Military Cryptanalytics, Parts III-VI, by
- William Friedman and Lambros Callimahos (LC3-6). Parts I and II of each of
- these treatises had already been declassified and published. At the time of
- the request, it was not definitely known whether the parts requested by
- Gilmore had been re-classified. This document, distributed by Electronic
- Frontier Federation, discusses the case.
