You're welcome. Many other things come to mind. But, as you start to get files, they often list other field [FBI] offices that received copies....send the same request to them too! They might also reference other documents by number. Request them [and make it clear NOT JUST them]. Once you get a reply, it will usually be sent by one FOIA-response person. If they seem like they are half-way doing their job, try to write the next time to them personally [address it both to their name and the Office/Field Office FOIA Office [both - on the one paper]. Try [not easy] to make them feel some rapport with you and some desire to see you get your papers and off of their ass. Tell them you intent to appeal until satisfied you have all, and will even consider suing for the materials, if they are not forthcoming. Remind them of the FOIA law and their statutory obligation to fulfill it. Ask around on progressive websites for what worked and what did not in a FOIA. If you want to discuss particular matters or questions, PM me. If I have some time, I'll try to find on my computer the guides I have on FOIA filings.
