Larry W. Bryant’s UFOview

TO: Ms. Delores M. Nelson
     Information and Privacy Coordinator
     U. S. Central Intelligence Agency
     Washington, DC 20505

 FROM: Larry W. Bryant
      3518 Martha Custis Drive
      Alexandria, VA 22302

 DATE: August 23, 2009

 1. Reference: the enclosed photocopy of the Washington Post's Aug. 23, 2009, obituary of UFO researcher Richard Harris Hall.

 2. During Mr. Hall's leadership at the now-defunct National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), he encountered the official desire of certain CIA personnel to share with them a selection of key UFO-incident cases from NICAP files. For the ensuing arrangement, no confidentiality agreement applied.

 3. Accordingly, I hereby submit this freedom-of-information request for a photocopy of all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to this UFO-related files-sharing arrangement (said records to include the Agency's analysis/disposition of the NICAP cases received) -- plus any and all CIA records pertaining to Mr. Hall's subsequent career as a UFO researcher-author.

 4. Please process this request under my FOIA-requester status as a representative of the news media.

 5. By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.
