To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
I was aboard the USS Liberty when the ship was attacked by the IDF on June 8, 1967 and serve my shipmates as Director of Operations of the USS Liberty Veterans Association.
The NSA has released brief snippets of intercepts from June 8, 1967 of recordings of IDF helicopter pilots as they approached the USS Liberty after the attack was over.

Dear Joe Meadors:
We received your inquiry for a status update on your case (115439). The NSA Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act (PA) divison treats all FOIA and PA requesters fairly by responding to each on a first-in, first-out basis in accordance with federal regulations. Each request is unique; as such, there is no set timeframe for this process.
Your case is assigned to an initial processing case officer and the search for responsive documents is in progress for this request. A letter will be sent from the NSA FOIA/PA division once the search is complete. Please be advised that each case that has responsive records goes through three levels of review prior to the final response. The length of review in each phase depends on many factors, such as the number of pages and classification level.
