From: T. McElwee

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All records mentioning, concerning, or communicating with John R. Dunne, a deceased politician from New York State who held the office of State Senator from 1966 to 1989, as well as the Assistant United States Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division from 1990 to 1994. He was last known as a public affairs lawyer with Whiteman Osterman & Hanna.

Details which may assist in the location of records of relevance and elimination of duplicate names are below.

Full name: John Richard Dunne
Date of Birth: January 28, 1930
Date of Death: November 1, 2020
First 5 digits of Social Security Number: 118-24
NYS Attorney Registration Number: 1536564

Dunne's death was widely reported in 2020 (see attachment); these records should thus be assumed to have diminished privacy interests from the FOIA Exemption 6, 7(C) as well as the Privacy Act.

Please conduct a search of the Central Records System, including but not limited to the ELSUR Records System, the Microphone Surveillance (MISUR) Indices, the Physical Surveillance (FISUR) Indices, and the Technical Surveillance (TESUR) Indices, for both main-file records and cross-reference records for all relevant names, individuals, agencies and companies.

If any potentially responsive records have been destroyed and/or transferred to NARA, then I request copies of the destruction or transfer slips as well as any other documentation relating to, mentioning or describing said transfer or destruction, to include but not be limited to confirmation that the Bureau has no other copies of said records.

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,

T. McElwee
