This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

Materials relating to or mentioning the Interagency Telephone Laboratory (ITL), FBI's involvement with it and the FBI's role as its Executive Agent. The existence of the ITL and FBI's role has been previously disclosed by the Bureau and by CIA in documents such as CIA-RDP88G01332R001301560003-3. The ITL was part of the Security Committee (SECOM), per CIA-RDP88G01332R001301560003-3, and your Agency was part of SECOM, per CIA-RDP87T00623R000300070002-6. These documents may be found on CIA's public website.

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.
