This is follow-up information I hope makes the search for responsive documents easier:
Arlington Police conducted a raid on "Friendly Models" on March 18, 1982.
Proprietor of "Friendly Models" = Richard S. Kind
*Kind was arrested in March of 1982 by Arlington Police for conspiracy to pander
Former Congressional Page, Leroy Williams, of North Little Rock, Ark., was also named in Customer records seized by police in a March 18 raid according to investigators.
"One such raid, executed by D.C. and Arlington County police with a search warrant, took place on March 18, at a house in Georgetown that served as the headquarters for Friendly Models, alleged to be the front for a million-dollar homosexual prostitution out-call business."
"Newspaper stories on the raid said that 11 boxes of business records were seized, including the names, addresses and telephone numbers of up to 1,000 individuals who were alleged to be "preferred customers." It was not clear yesterday if the list of clients examined by State Department officials came from the Friendly raid."
