Dear FOIA Officer:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am requesting all responsive documents generated from January 1, 2009 and the date this request is processed.
I hereby request the following records:
I am seeking documents containing the phrases or keywords “Barrett Brown”, an individual born 8/14/1981 from Dallas, Texas, and “Project PM” a research project created by that same person.
A privacy waiver for Barrett Brown is attached.
Please search the FBI’s indices to the Central Records System for the information responsive to this request related to: Barrett Brown, Project PM
This request is not meant to be exclusive of any other records which, though not specifically requested, would have a reasonable relationship to the subject matter of this request.
If my request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I will also expect to be provided with all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material. Please separately state your reasons for not invoking your discretionary powers to release the requested documents in the public interest.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general 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 and not 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.
