To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Iowa Open Records Law, I hereby request the following
records:

Policies, procedures and/or documents pertaining to indexing for
FamilySearch, otherwise known as Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or FamilySearch
International, a genealogical non-profit operated by The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) by inmates within facilities run by the
Iowa Department of Corrections. This includes any documents regarding
Family History Centers operated within such facilities, and any documents
referencing LDS Correctional Services, a division of LDS. Examples of such
documents include contracts between the Iowa Department of Corrections and
FamilySearch, often called a "Memorandum of Understanding," with an
attachment describing FamilySearch's assistance.

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 10 business
days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Burkely Hermann
