Dear Mr. Barnes:

This is in partial response to your letter dated November 19, 1982, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, copies of documents concerning Thor-Westcliffe Development, Incorporated.

Specifically, you requested documents concerning'(a) a March 1958 application for a license to purchase, store, and sell uranium metal for research and nuclear power uses, and for authorization to buy uranium metal from the Atomic Energy Commission. You stated a license for the

" storage and transfer of source material" was granted April 1958; and (b) an August 1959 application for a license to produce UF6, a construction permit to build a prototype gas centrifuge production facility, and an

. import license to import 3 (later 7) gas centrifuges from Germany for - 1 installation near.Pittsburg, Kansas.

You stated an import license was granted in January 1960.

To date we have not located any documents subject to your request, although our search efforts are not yet completed. We suggest, however, that the Department of Commerce (Office of Commerce Import Administration) may be able to provide documents related to the January 1960 license for the import of three gas centrifuges from Germany.

You may wish to direct your request for inport license documents to the Department of Commerce by writing to the following address:

Department of Commerce Office of Information Management Marilyn S. McLennan, Chief Information Policy and Management Herbert C. Iloover Building - Room 6628 Washington, DC 20230 B301100341 821216 1
