To Whom It May Concern:

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

I am searching for records on a Mr. Paul Goodman, writer for the Village Voice in the late 1960's and early 1970's who was also a self-professed homosexual and anarchist. I would like any responsive documents between the years of 1962 and 1974 related to his case which may include, but are not limited to; tasked surveillance of Mr. Goodman including the basis for the tasking, interviews with NSA employees or affiliates made at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any other individual personnel files that NSA may have on this individual or any possible investigations performed in coordination with other agencies.

Please see the attached screencap of FBI memoranda on Mr. Goodman's Bureau case file which references one such discussion had with a redacted NSA employee. Please advise that I would also be interested in a review of the redacted employee's name for historical referential purposes on this issue if the individual is deceased. Referenced FOIPA case number with the Bureau on this FOIA is 1414579-000.

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,

Emily Crose
