To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The first page of all Strategic Software Planning Corp (222 Third St., Cambridge Massachusetts, 02142) contracts with the FBI from 1980-1986. The software is described at https://books.google.com/books?id=1mW5f8lXoEYC&pg=PA98&lpg=PA98&dq=%22Strategic+Software+Planning+Corp%22&source=bl&ots=-fAVf652cj&sig=zNI04-6uFKv3qhZ3_JYOznc0Gcc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6np2fotzMAhUIWCYKHau7AQkQ6AEIITAC#v=onepage&q=%22Strategic%20Software%20Planning%20Corp%22&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=kVhEPmU8Z6IC&pg=RA1-PA92&lpg=RA1-PA92&dq=%22Strategic+Software+Planning+Corp%22&source=bl&ots=W9jMCoqWi9&sig=FyBGIpLz07Agy1XoXMe9wfCHE0g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6np2fotzMAhUIWCYKHau7AQkQ6AEIHzAB#v=onepage&q=%22Strategic%20Software%20Planning%20Corp%22&f=false and the government asserted its use as a critical defense against claims of software piracy in the Inslaw affair, which has received widepsread media coverage.
I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. I have written widely read articles on the government and the intelligence community, such as andmagazine.com/us/1431865273.html 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,
Michael Best
