jproved For Rase 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP84B00890$000700030070-3 July 25 , 1980 Washingto i, D.C. ' 20505 Information. and Privacy Coordinator Dear Mr. Owens: Witty reference to your letter of. January 11, in response to my request for information on the role of Wolfgang Yourgrau in CSS intelligence operations during W-Ioeld War II, please be so kind to inform me what procedure I should follow ip appealing to your Review Committee. I fully understand that you are forced to let me wait my turn, but I believe my. own situation has become exceptional and critical indeed. I simply cannot afford, in view of the restrictions placed on my time by academic life and in view of the enormous obligations I have incurred to 50 scholars of world reputation, to wait any longer for the straightforward information I need in order to complete a crucial academic project. When you advised me in your letter' of January 11 that it would be more reasonable for me to await your response "as soon as feasible," I certainly had no idea that it might take more than 7 months! May I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Sincerely yours, Alwyn van der Iferwe Editor and Professor of Physics AvdM/bg Enc. Nature Obituary
