Frederick T Melges (Fbi-san Francisco)

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Records mentioning, relating to, or generated as a result of investigation or inquiry into Frederick T Melges, American psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at Stanford University of Medicine, who died in 1988. Following his death privacy concerns under FOIA Exemptions 6 and 7 are voided, as are any concerns under the Privacy Act.

If previously released records are available, then I request a rolling release consisting of those records while additional records are located and processed for release.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

I request that I be properly classified as a news media requester. I am a journalist and producer for a podcast production company and I am requesting this information in that editorial capacity.

Blanchard House is recognized for producing narrative podcast documentary series, reporting and publishing regular series on issues of public interest and importance, such as the below examples:

Black And Blue: blanchard-house.com/releases/blackandblue
Pirate of Prague: https://www.blanchard-house.com/releases/nwfei4clq9mes1v8n3hacvrt3tkpi0

In addition, I have covered areas related to this request during my career, and plan to use my editorial skills (honed as a producer for the BBC for nearly 20 years) to analyze and produce original reporting work for our podcast audience who listen to our work on platforms such as Wondery, Apple podcasts or Audible.

Examples of some of my previous journalistic work are here:
BBC Radio 4: Putin’s Religious War - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00162mp
BBC Radio 4: The Unabomber - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07654x0

If you have any questions about my media status, please contact me.

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,

Rebecca Maxted
