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 Sheldon Gary Adelson, more commonly known as Sheldon Adelson and Shelly Adelson. An attached obituary shall serve as proof of Adelson having passed away in 2021; as such, privacy interests recognized under exemptions to FOIA as well as the Privacy Act are diminished.

To assist in the identification of records, please note the following identifiers:

First five digits of Social Security Number 029-24;
DOB: Aug. 4, 1933
POB: Boston, MA

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

Attention: Work Process Unit
Re: FOIPA Request No.: 1487346-000, Subject: ADELSON, SHELDON GARY

To whom it may concern,

This is a response to the email I received from RIDS concerning the above captioned request.

Having not been quoted a specific number of pages (or having an estimate of which track that this request is on) I have no reason to request a reduction in scope.

As the subject is a person of some importance, I will authorize RIDS and Work Process Unit in advance to fulfill the request using a combination of rolling releases as well as the use of FBI's Vault website.

Thanks,
T. McElwee
