Dear JPat Brown (MUCKROCK),

SUBJECT: FBI's files on Margaret Sanger - according to the FBI response
would be located under the file *36-HQ-1301*

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act
request to the National Archives and Records Administration.

Due to the nature of your request, we have forwarded your request to our
Office of Research Services, Special Access and FOIA staff, for appropriate
handling. You've requested documents that may already be open to the public
and not subject to FOIA. Federal records are transferred to NARA no
earlier than 15 years and as late as 30 years from the date the document
was created. You will be assigned a new tracking number by that office
within the next 20 business days. If you would like to follow up with that
office directly please contact them at specialaccess_FOIA@nara.gov.

For your reference, your original submission is below.

Thank you for contacting the National Archives and please visit our website
at www.archives.gov/foiawww.archives.gov for further information.

Dear Mr. Brown,

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act request for records
in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration. Your
request was received in this office on April 20, 2016 and assigned FOIA
case number *49824*.

You requested access to FBI case file *36-HQ-1301*, identified as being
potentially responsive to your request for records concerning *Margaret
Sanger*.

I have completed a line-by-line review of FBI case file 36-HQ-1301, the
subject of which is Margaret Sanger, and released the information in full.

As the page count did not exceed the minimum requirements to be assessed a
reproduction fee, I have attached a complimentary copy of the requested
documents to this correspondence.

Please note that the quality of the reproduction of these documents is a
result of the microfilm on which the records were stored. All effort was
made to provide you with the best possible copy.

This completes the processing of your request. If you have any questions,
you may reach me at (301) 837-0774 or noah.shankin@nara.gov.

Sincerely,

Noah Shankin
