Margaret Thatcher (State) - 1979 to 1983

To Whom It May Concern:

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

All records on, about, mentioning, or concerning Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, née Roberts (13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013). Proof of death is not required because her 2013 death from a stroke has been widely reported.

Please limit this search to documents created from January 1, 1979 to December 31, 1983.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Shawn Musgrave

Hello,

I submitted an identical request regarding Margaret Thatcher for documents from 1973 to 1978 (F-2013-06280), and a Program Analyst from the Office of Information Programs and Services, Europe, Africa and Near Eastern Affairs has indicated she is able to conduct a search. Please clarify why this request should be any different beside the search frame.

Best,
Shawn
