To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all records mentioning or describing Thomas F. Kelleher, Jr. (July 27, 1928 - May 23, 2000)
Thomas Kelleher was an FBI employee involved in the exploding bullets investigation regarding President Reagan.
According to the Washington Post:
"The bullets that struck President Reagan and two of the three other persons wounded in Monday's assassination attempt were positively identified yesterday by the FBI as "Devastators" -- expensive, customized .22-caliber cartridges designed to explode upon impact with the force of slugs fired from much more powerful handguns. None of those bullets exploded, however."
"Thomas Kelleher, assistant FBI director in charge of the agnecy's laboratory, said the bullets removed from Secret Service Agent Timothy J. McCarthy and D.C. policeman Thomas K. Delahanty also were identified as Devastators."
"Although federal authorities said they were not familiar with Devastators, a check of 21 ammunition dealers in the Lubbock, Tex., area -- where alleged assailant John W. Hinckley Jr., purchased three handguns -- shows that exploding ammunition, including Devastators, is readily available."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please do not confuse this with the Alec Baldwin incident below:
"A Baldwin representative told People Thursday that the shooting was an accident "involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks."
"As the Alec Baldwin Rust shooting investigation continues, the Santa Fe County sheriff on Wednesday said that three guns and 500 rounds of ammunition had been recovered from the New Mexico film set"
"The evidence will be submitted to an FBI lab for analysis, the sheriff said, also noting that there were more interviews to be conducted."
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,
Joanne Riford
