To Whom It May Concern:

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

Mr Charles Pfarrer has claimed publicly to have served in the United States Navy as a commissioned officer, approximate service dates 1981 - 1988.

As noted above, I also request expedited processing of this FOIA request. Mr. Pfarrer is considered an expert on the activities of the U.S. military by the national news media.
There is a compelling, obvious urgency to inform the public about the veracity of Mr. Pfarrer's claims and his background experience including his service in the United States Navy. This should fulfill the requirements of requesting expedited processing from this agency. Please respond with an estimation of the amount of time it will take to process the request.

I also request that fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering.

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,

Donavan Turner
