To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. All documents and records related to the planning, activities, and closure of the Black Chamber, also known as the Cipher Bureau.
- For clarification about this historical agency, please refer to the following link (see 1919 May 19): https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/center-cryptologic-history/pre-1952-timeline/
Because the requested records are very old, it is possible that your agency has processed them before for a previous requester. However, I was unable to locate the records online.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In order to help determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am a freelance journalist whose work has been published by print and digital news outlets and magazines. You can view my portfolio at www.erinmariemiller.com/journalism.
Because of my status as a news media requester, I request a waiver of all fees. If a fee waiver is not granted, I am willing to pay up to $25 for the requested information. If the fee for this request exceeds this amount, please notify me in writing prior to beginning work on the request.
Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the historical operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.
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,
Erin Marie Miller
