To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any records mentioning the anarchist writer and publisher Stuart Christie (born: 10 July 1946 - died: 15 August 2020). Stuart Christie was jailed in Spain in 1964 for his involvement in a plot to assassinated Francisco Franco. He was released from prison after four years, and was later accused and acquitted of involvement in an organization called "The Angry Brigade" that carried out firebombings against targets such as the US Embassy in London.
Christie was also a writer of a number of books related to anarchism. He was also an editor of the Soviet-era, English language version of the newsweekly Argumenty i Fakty ("Arguments and Facts") in London. This was a publication that disseminated Soviet propaganda during the final years of the Soviet Union.
Mr. Christie's 2020 death was widely discussed in the mainstream media and on social media. Please take a look at an obituary from The Guardian newspaper, which should be attached to this request.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/aug/17/stuart-christie-obituary
Please include all potentially responsive materials, including but not limited to all communications, reports, inquiries, investigations, photographs, audio files, video files, memos, directives, etc. Please include all materials found in other subject files and all materials associated with any potentially-related names and any other known aliases, nicknames, code names, or any other identifying pseudonyms or references utilized by this agency. Please consult the Central Records System and records, the Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Data Management System and records, Microphone Surveillance (MISUR) records, Physical Surveillance (FISUR) records, Technical Surveillance (TESUR) records, and all available cross-reference indices, databases, and records, in addition to any other locations containing potentially-responsive materials related to Stuart Christie.
According to a blog post I just read, it is important that I state the following: "As you know, your agency is required to search the records stored at NARA’s Washington Records Center in Suitland, MD, but still technically under your agency’s control. For more information see 36 CFR 1250.8" Please also conduct a search of records at NARA's Washington Records Center in Suitland, for records related to Stuart Christie.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Robert Delaware
