To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Records relating to or mentioning the database named File of International Terrorist Events described and cited in the following documents, CIA-RDP84-00893R000100220001-6, CIA-RDP84-00933R000400210016-0, CIA-RDP87T00685R000100190002-7, CIA-RDP90-01137R000100050001-3 as well as a copy of the database itself. This database was used by the National Foreign Assessment Center and covered terrorist incidents occurring between 1968 and 1980. The system was discontinued in 1982 in favor of the interagency DESIST database.

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,

Paul Galante

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a follow-up to FOIA request F-2019-01674. I am still interested in pursuing this request, and am willing to reduce the scope of the request to only a copy of the FITE database itself, as described in my original request. Additionally, please notify me if extant copies of the database have been destroyed or transferred to the National Archives. I appreciate your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,
Paul Galante

To Whom It May Concern:

Sincerely,
Paul Galante
