    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:

    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

    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.

    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,
