CIA file on Józef Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II)

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All records on, about, mentioning, or concerning Józef Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II). Paul II was born May 18, 1920 in the Polish town of Wadowice and died on April 2, 2005. Paul II's death was widely reported in the news:

ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/International/Pope/story?id=630321&page=1
"Pope John Paul II died today at age 84, Vatican officials said. One of the most influential leaders of the 20th and early 21st centuries, he worked tirelessly to build a moral foundation in the modern world, while playing a crucial role in overthrowing communism and fostering peace."

The Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/apr/02/guardianobituaries.catholicism

"Pope John Paul II, who has died at the age of 84, was seen in the flesh by more people than any other pope in history. He made more than 100 international journeys, each of them a marathon which left his suite limp and made his adrenaline flow."

Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,152271,00.html

"A tireless and outspoken campaigner for world peace and humanitarian causes, Pope John Paul II was the most traveled pontiff in history, criss-crossing the globe on missions that were often as political as they were religious."
