A no responsive documents response.

Re FOIPA Request No. 1388571-000:
I am appealing the integrity of the search that lead to the no responsive documents response in my request for files on ANTHONY MORTON, formerly known as ROBERT TURNER. It's well known that this individual was investigated by the Bureau, and I believe the search was not reasonably calculated to locate those records.
I identified several Congressional records that actually disclose in testimony the Bureau's investigation of Morton. Those records were attached to the initial request.
Please search both cross-referenced files and ELSUR (Electronic Surveillance) records that could potentially include responsive documents.
An agency “cannot limit its search to only one or more places if there are additional sources that are likely to turn up the information requested,” pursuant to Oglesby v. United States Dep’t of the Army, and the Congressional testimony included with my original request indicates that the FBI did indeed collect information on Morton.
Please perform a more comprehensive search.
Sincerely,
Roger K. Clendening
