To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
On 1 July 1972, Mr Richard Helms and five others embarked on a flight from Washington DC to Australia, and were in Australia from3-8 July. On 8 July the party of six flew onward to New Zealand, and were there from 8 to 11 July, before returning to USA.
I understand that these visits were initiated from within the CIA, probably directly by Mr Helms. My understanding is that Mr Helms (or others in CIA) approached the Australian embassy in Washington DC, and also the New Zealand embassy in Washington DC to make arrangements for these visits. I also believe that the relevant correspondence took place in May, June and July 1972 . I therefore request copies of such correspondence in these months relevant to the visit of Mr Helms and party to Australia and New Zealand.
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,
Robert Miller
