Edward Lodewijk Van Halen (1955-2020)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All Bureau records mentioning or pertaining to the late Edward Van Halen, a deceased musician popularly known as "Eddie Van Halen" and full name "Edward Lodewijk Van Halen." An attached news story shall serve as proof that Van Halen passed away in 2020; as such, privacy concerns recognized under FOIA and the Privacy Act are diminished.

To assist in the identification of records, Van Halen's Social Security Number begins with the first 5 digits 569-90. His date of birth is January 26, 1955. His date of death is reported as October 6, 2020. His longtime residence was in the Los Angeles metro-area of California.

Please conduct a search of the Central Records System including (but not limited to) the Counterdrug Information Indices System (CIIS), ELSUR Records System, the Microphone Surveillance (MISUR) Indices, the Physical Surveillance (FISUR) Indices, and the Technical Surveillance (TESUR) Indices, for both main-file records and cross-reference records for all relevant names, individuals, agencies and companies.

If any potentially responsive records have been destroyed and/or transferred to NARA, then I request copies of the destruction or transfer slips as well as any other documentation relating to, mentioning or describing said transfer or destruction, to include but not be limited to confirmation that the Bureau has no other copies of said records.

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,

T. McElwee
