To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Records relating to or mentioning Ramparts AKA Ramparts Magazine AKA Ramparts Magazine, Incorporated, a glossy illustrated American political and literary magazine, published from 1962 to 1975 and closely associated with the New Left political movement. Ramparts was an early opponent of the Vietnam War. Its April 1966 cover article concerned the Michigan State University Group, a technical assistance program in South Vietnam that Ramparts claimed was a front for CIA covert operations. Beginning that year, American authorities began investigating the magazine's funding, suspecting Soviet financial connections. In February 1967, Ramparts revealed links between the CIA and the National Student Association, raising concerns about CIA involvement in domestic issues. The CIA knew about the revelations in advance, and tried their best to limit the extent of the scandal. In June 1972, the magazine printed the wiring schematics necessary to create a mute box (a variant of the blue box).
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,
Emma Best
