This is a request under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act as amended including the E-
FOIA amendments.
I respectfully request copies, whether paper, electronic, or digital format, of any records or reports

information provided to you by and/or about this individual, the use of his services for any reason, org
employment 'of this individual for any purpose now or in the past. In the instance of matters relating F&

Further, this request is to specifically include, but is not limited too, information pertaining to the yeaW
1966 through 1975 and related to' employment, special assignments, or other use of the services of this
individual.-During 1968, possibly earlier and later, this individual may have been serving in Laos during
the Vietnamc"ainpaign. He has claimed to have been a Combat Controller (possibly serving with a Special
Forces squadron) based out of the CIA location designated Lima Site 20A, also known as 20 Alternate or
simply `Alternate'. The proper name of this location is Long Tieng, though the spelling has been known
to vary. It is during this time period that he may have been utilized for special assignment(s) to assist CIA
operations and aims.
In order to help determine the category in which to place this request, please know that I am a private
individual requesting records for noncommercial research and study purposes. Therefore I believe this
request belongs in the "all other" category. However I am willing to pay reasonable search and
 reproduction fees up to a maximum of $40.00 over and above the `2 hours research time and first 100
pages free' provisions of the FOIA for costs associated with this request if necessary. If my request is
denied in whole or in part, I ask that you explain all deletions by reference to specific categories of
exempted information but, as required by law, release any segregable portions that are left after the
exempted material has been redacted. I also request that redactions be made using blackout not white-out.
