c/o General Delivery Battle Lake [zip code exempt] MINNESOTA STATE March 12, 1997 Benjamin F. Burrell, Director Facilities and Administrative Services Staff Justice Management Division Department of Justice 10th and Constitution, N.W. Washington [zip code exempt] DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Dear Mr. Burrell, Thank you very much for your letter to Me, dated March 3, 1997. In your letter, you stated that My FOIA request will have to be resubmitted by Me directly to organizations outside of the Department of Justice. However, you failed to identify those organizations within the federal government which should receive another copy of My request. Mr. Burrell, there are many organizations within the federal government, and your letter leaves Me at a loss to determine which of those many organizations should now receive My original FOIA request. Moreover, I do not think it appropriate to resubmit My FOIA request to organizations outside of the federal government, because the federal government is the official custodian of the original records, certified copies of which I am now requesting. Also, please refer to My original FOIA request, in which I kindly requested that you forward My FOIA request to the correct person, if the original FOIA recipient was not the correct person to whom it should be directed. Here is the pertinent paragraph, which is found in all FOIA requests which I have submitted to date in My case: If you are not the correct person to whom this Freedom of Information Act Request should be directed, kindly forward it to the correct person. Did you fail to read My entire request? Sincerely yours, /s/ Everett C. Gilbertson Everett C.
