Law Enforcement Presence at White House

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Records either and mentioning and or naming and or declaring and or recording and or reporting and or indicating the presence of federal and or local law enforcement on the north lawn of the White House on or at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest in Washington DC on or about 10:52 PM local time on March 31st 1977.

I believe responsive records or relevant records were created by each of the U.S Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington Field Office, the United States Secret Service, the Federal Protective Service, the White House Press Office, the Washington District of Columbia Municipal Police Department, several newspaper agencies, a few foreign governments, and surprisingly also the Central Intelligence Agency despite their charter not being very supportive of domestic activity.

I would thus also ask you to make any appropriate interagency or intergovernmental referral and or coordination in processing of my request even if it may result in a remarkably slower processing time.

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,

Nicholas Burkhead
