DoJ OIG 1980-2005

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

A list of investigations closed by the DOJ OIG for the calendar years 1980 through 2005.

I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

I ask that fees be waived, as the documents will be used to identify OIG records of public interest to request through FOIA. 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,

Michael Best

Thank you for your initial response and for advising me about the possibility of search fees. However, I correctly identified myself as a member of the news media and am thus exempt from search fees. I have written widely read articles on matters of law enforcement and national security, such as andmagazine.com/us/1431865273.html, and have arrangements to publish future articles with AND Magazine and other outlets.

Thank you!

Hi,
