To whom it may concern,
This is an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act.
Being that Eleanor Mondale was the daughter of a Vice President, the likelihood that she was not tracked by the FBI seems nil. Please re-do all searches, and if they come up empty, please turn over all search result pages showing no results, as well as all records of previous requests.
Thank you,
David Bixenspan
