Thelbert David Morgan Military Record (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs)

To Whom It May Concern:

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

all Article 32 reports of investigations (ROI) and all courts-martial records of trial (ROT) concerning Thelbert David Morgan. Morgan is a candidate for mayor in Pensacola, Florida, and there is substantial public interest in releasing these records if they exist. As the Air Force Judge Advocate General has opined:
"Generally speaking, there is usually a sufficient public interest in military criminal justice proceedings to require release of some requested information.... Thus, once a request for an Article 32 hearing ROI or ROT is made pursuant to the FOIA, the Air Force will usually be required to release at least some of the requested records."

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,

jimmie lee staley
