To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

Documents and materials regarding any investigation into Hobby Lobby's Museum of the Bible regarding the presence of cultural property obtained as a result of looting or smuggling, including the forfeiture of the the "Gilgamesh Dream Tablet."

Responsive documents would include, but are not limited to, internal agency communications and memoranda regarding the investigation containing the keywords "Gilgamesh", "Cuneiform", "Hobby Lobby", "Museum of the Bible", "Bible Museum", and "Christie's Auctions".

Please conduct your search for documents produced between 01/01/2001 to the day this request is processed.

To assist in processing, note that I am not interested in seeking any identifiable personal information in response to this request - if any such information is present in responsive documents, I am open and amendable to appropriate redactions as long as the corresponding FOIA exemption(s) are cited. Additionally, if any aspect of the search for these records is unduly burdensome or unclear, please notify me ahead of time and I will be happy to clarify or amend the scope of my request. You may get in touch with me using the email above or by calling 508-320-4721.

I ask that the fee for this request be waived, as I believe it to be in the public interest concerning events receiving widespread news coverage.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Adrien Salzberg

From: United States District Court, Eastern District of New York
