FOIA - FBI - Friedrich Hayek

There are eFOIA files available for you to download.

Dear Ader:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) via email to
FOIA@nara.gov. Your request concerns FBI file #100-HQ-341008.

Our office handles FOIA and Privacy Act requests for the NARA's
operational records
(records created by this agency). Since your request is for archival
records (records created by or originated in a different agency, but that
may have been transferred to the legal custody of NARA) to which access may
be restricted, we are forwarding it by this email to our Office of Research
Services, Special Access and FOIA staff who handle FOIA requests for such
archival records.

That office will assign your request a tracking number, and respond
directly to you. In the future, if you need to follow up with that office,
please contact them at the address below, or electronically via email
(email is preferred).

Please visit our website at www.archives.gov/foia for further information
about making a FOIA request to NARA. On our main website, www.archives.gov,
you can learn more about the resources that we offer to the public, and you
can access our online catalog.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and pursuant to guidance received from the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA had adjusted its normal
operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work
while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of
our staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may
experience a delay in receiving a substantive response to your FOIA
request. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your
understanding and patience.

This is a follow up to request number 1576897-000:

To Whom It May Concern:

Please refer to File #100-HQ-341008

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

All records relating to or mentioning Friedrich August von Hayek (8 May
1899 – 23 March 1992) - Austrian–British philosopher and economist (see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Hayek )

Please conduct a thorough search of the Central Records System, including
but not limited to the Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices, the
Physical Surveillance (FISUR) Indices, the Microphone Surveillance (MISUR)
Indices, and the Technical Surveillance (TESUR) Indices - for both
main-file records and cross-reference records for all relevant names,
individuals, agencies and companies.

If any potentially responsive records have been destroyed and/or
transferred to NARA, then I request copies of the destruction or transfer
slips as well as any other documentation relating to, mentioning or
describing said transfer or destruction, to include but not be limited to
confirmation that the Bureau has no other copies of said records. If
previously released records are available, then I request a rolling release
consisting of those records while additional records are located and
processed for release.

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,

J Ader
