Yeah, I read about that in the Times. I want to file a Freedom of Information Act and get some information on something. When I think of something good I'll let you all know.

I can't believe I'm defending this guy, but in 1975 it cost way too much money. But you do have a point. And oh yeah it was 2001 in which he graced us with his presence. I love the photos of the time machine!

woops wrong post

Send an FOIA request about yourself?

Where do you get the info you need to file the paperwork, or order form, or request, or whatever it is under the FOIA?

If it's not too expensive, it might be an interesting endeavour.

GO LEAFS!!!

My brother had to do some FOIA stuff for his job once, so I'll ask him about it, again. I think it was a pain. The DOJ's website had a guide:

http://www.usdoj.gov/04foia/referenceguidemay99.htm

that says:

In almost all cases, you should send your FOIA request to a component's central FOIA office. For records held by a field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), however, you must write directly to that FBI office. On the other hand, for example, all requests for records held by a United States Attorney's Office should be sent directly to the Executive Office for United States Attorneys in Washington, D.C.

Because, over time, individual employees of the Justice Department may change job positions, it is not recommended that you address your request to a specific person. Rather, you should include the notation "Freedom of Information Act Request" on the front of your request envelope and also at the beginning of your request letter. In this way you will be sure that the responsible individual receives your request without delay.

If you believe that the Justice Department does maintain the records you are seeking, but you are uncertain about which component has the records, you may send your request to: FOIA/PA Mail Referral Unit, Justice Management Division, U.S. Department of Justice, Room 114 LOC, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20530-0001, Attention: FOIA Request. Personnel in that division will then forward your request to the component(s) of the Justice Department most likely to maintain the records you are seeking.
