To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All Naval Medical Research Institute documents and related records from the time period beginning with its formation in 1942 through 1952 that mention Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (aka L. Ron Hubbard; March 13, 1911 - January 24, 1986 ). Proof of death is not required as Mr. Hubbard's passing was widely reported: http://www.nytimes.com/1986/01/29/obituaries/l-ron-hubbard-dies-of-stroke-founder-of-church-of-scientology.html
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest due to the many wild and unsbstantiated claims that have been made by the Church of Scientology regarding Mr. Hubbard's short Navy career during WWII.
Additionally, the requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, and is not being made for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,
Ms. R. M. Seibert
