A fix is required to perfect the request. The request has been rejected as being too vague, burdensome or otherwise unprocessable.

From: John Kirsch

I question the need for a fix for this FOIA request. As I stated in a previous followup note, this is NOT a Privacy Act request. As for the request being vague, burdensome or otherwise unprocessable -- the request pertains to a specific person, subject (Bugliosi's book) and period of time. I'm not requesting ALL of the information/records the FBI may have on Bugliosi, only copies of correspondence between Bugliosi and the bureau pertaining to his book, for a specified period of time.

I request that the FBI reopen this FOIA request in light of Mr. Bugliosi's death on Saturday, June 6, 2015. This is a link to his obituary in The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/us/vincent-t-bugliosi-manson-prosecutor-and-true-crime-author-dies-at-80.html?_r=0.
In addition to the correspondence I requested initially, I also request all information/records the FBI has on Bugliosi. In particular I request all FBI records indicating the bureau's reaction to and/or opinion of Bugliosi's book about the Kennedy assassination, "Reclaiming History." John Kirsch
