To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
I was aboard the USS Liberty when the ship was attacked by the IDF on June 8, 1967 and serve my shipmates as Historian of the USS Liberty Veterans Association.
The Report of the US Navy Court of Inquiry convened to look into all aspects of the June 8, 1967 attack on our ship contains a Finding of Fact claiming “Available evidence combines to indicate the attack on LIBERTY on 8 June was in fact a case of mistaken identity.”
We are requesting to be provided with all of the “available evidence” reviewed that supports that Finding of Fact.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Joe Meadors
