From: Paul Galante
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
File 62-HQ-85557, including all sub files, bulky files, and enclosures behind file if they exist.
Please conduct a search of the Central Records System, including but not limited to the Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices, 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. This is also to include any responsive records held in offsite locations, such as the Alexandria Records Center. Please include both investigatory and non-investigatory records in your search. 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. If previously released records are available, then I request a rolling release consisting of those records while additional records are located and processed for release.
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,
Paul Galante

Good Morning Mr. Galante,
We're contacting you in reference to the FOIPA request number included in the subject line of this email. The FBI located approximately 28,500 pages potentially responsive to your request.
Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system:
Small track requests (0-50 pages) current average time is approximately 4 months to complete;
Medium track requests (51-500 pages) current average time is approximately 35 months to complete;
Large track requests (501-4,999 pages) current average time is approximately 55 months to complete; and
Extra-large track requests (over 5,000 pages) current average time is approximately 77 months to complete.
The current average time to complete your x-large track request is at least 77 months. Reducing the scope of your request may accelerate the processing, allow for a timelier receipt of the information you seek, and reduce the duplication costs, if applicable. Would you be willing to consider reducing the scope of your request to place it in a smaller, potentially faster processing track?
Please let us know if this is something you would be interested in further discussing. If you chose to narrow the scope of your request, you will be able to request remaining material via a new FOIPA request submission at the completion of this request, subject to applicable fees.
Sincerely,
Negotiation Team
