FBI Richard LaCourse

To Whom It May Concern:

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

All documents and files, including letters, memos, emails, and all communications that mention Yakama journalist Richard V. LaCourse (born September 23, 1938 - died March 9, 2001).

An obituary can be found at Indian Country Today: https://ictnews.org/archive/richard-v-la-course-1938-2001-indian-journalist. An PDF copy of LaCourse's March 23, 2001, obituary from the Yakama Nation Review is attached.

I would also like to request a search of all available cross-index files for mentions of Richard V. LaCourse in other documents, to be included with this request.

I request that fees be waived, as this information will be used for educational and journalistic purposes.

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,

Nick Estes
