RE: FOIA Case No. 16-00746-F
Dear Ms. Evans,
This is in reply to your letters of July 15, 2016 and of July 20, 2016.
Please limit your search to the subject:
Howard Robard Hughes, Jr.
a/k/a Howard Hughes
DOB December 24, 1905
DOD April 5, 1976
within the time frame of January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1982.
Nonetheless, this search should also include DEA (and its predecessor agencies) investigations of Hughes' physicians. These investigations could be indexed under their own names (and not Hughes' name). Their names are:
Dr. Wilbur Sutton Thain
DOB November 4, 1925
DOD April 30, 2016
Dr. Norman F. Crane
DOB approx. 1907
DOD unknown
Dr. Homer Hone Clark
DOB November 23, 1921
DOD May 6, 2010
Thank you for your assistance in this research.
Very truly yours,
Nick Blaylock
