[I'm posting here because I can't think of other groups that might be able to help, and people here might find the information generated useful.] In December I sent the FBI a request under the FIA for information concerning the Society for Creative Anachronism. On 6 January 1988 they responded with a form letter stating that they received my request and that they were searching their indices for references. On 28 January I received another form letter stating that they had located appropirate documents ([box checked off] "We have located documents which may pertain to your request(s).") They also checked the box that says "As a result of the large number of FOIPA requests received by the FBI, we may encounter some delay in processing your request(s). ..." I'd like people's experiences as to how long it actually takes the FBI to finally find the information. Should I expect to wait until sometime in 1990? / James Moore / | jmm@bartleby.berkeley.edu / / |--------------------------------------------| / Ma ta Gaeilge agut, / | Nil aon speis ag Ollscoile na | / scriobh i! / | California im bharulacha fein. |
