To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
I have a copy of a 1989 finding aid that tells me that there are textual records and photos (possibly even maps and drawings) that would be helpful for my research into the construction of the Titan I bases in Washington.

I hope to publish in early 2020. The documents described in the Finding Aid could tell an important part of the story, so I could potentialy delay publication until I have had a chance to read them. Have you had any luck locating the archive or repository where the records are kept?
