Dear Ms. Best,
This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated
November 2, 2018 for records in the custody of the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA). You requested access to Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) case file 161-HQ-8723 which was identified by the FBI
as potentially responsive to your request. Your request was received in
this office on November 6, 2018 and assigned FOIA case number *RD 59399*.
We located and surveyed case file number 161-HQ-8723. The subject of the
file is Gloria Dean Anderson. The file consists of approximately 100 pages
within one section. It was compiled between April 1972 and May 1972 as
part of a security investigation conducted by the FBI.
The file requires screening for categories of information exempted from
disclosure under the FOIA. Specifically, there are documents which may be
redacted in order to protect the identities of named informants or
confidential sources, including FBI informant codes or informant file
numbers.
We have added your request to our first tier processing queue. This queue
is reserved for requests that consist of less than 500 pages. The
estimated time required to complete the processing of your request is
approximately 24 months from the date of this correspondence. We will
notify you as soon as our review of the file is complete.
Please notify this office of any change of address that may occur during
the time required to complete the processing of your request. To inform

other questions, you may email me at jennifer.namsiriwan@nara.gov. Please
cite your FOIA case number *RD 59399* in any further communications
concerning this request.
In the event that any correspondence to you from this office is returned as
undeliverable, no forwarding address, we will presume that you are no
longer interested in pursuing the case and it will be closed.
