Office of Administration Nuclear Regulatory Commissian Washington D.C. 20555 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
Dear Director:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.
5552, as amended, the Government Accounttbility Troject (GAP) re-quests copies of any and all agency records and information, in-cluding but not limited to notes, letters, memoranda, drafts, minutes, diaries, reports, procedures, instructions, engineering analyses, drawings, files, graphs, charts, maps, photographs, agreements, phone messages, computations, voice recordings, com-puter runoffs, any other data compilations, interim and/or final reports, si.atus reports, and any and all other records relevant to and/or generated in connection with the illegal disposition of americium-241, resulting in two spills, at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio in September, 1986, limited to the following areas - -
(1) any and all communications between the NRC and all outside federal and/or state agencies, including but not limited to the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense, Department of En-ergy, Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Justice, Ohio Governor's Office, Ohio Attorney General's Office, Ohio EPA, O',io Department of Health, or any and all personnel, representatives, l employees, or staff of the aforesaid agencies, including but {
not limited to Caspar Weinberger, Edwin Meese, Richard Celeste, and/or any and all White House officials. l The NRC's investigation was described in the November 5, 1987 edition of the Plain Dealer, a Cleveland newspaper. We have enclosed a copy of the article to assist you in your search.
This request includes all agency records as defined in 10 C.F.R. 9.3a(b) and 'sne NRC Manual, Appendix 0211, Parts 1.A.2 and A.3 (approved October 3, 1980) whether they currently exist in the NRC official, "working", invest!gative or ottar files, or at any other location, including private residences.
If any records as defined in 10 C.F.R. 9.3.a(b) and the NRC Manual and covered by this request have been destroyed and/or re-
$-lY I
, k...
i moved after this request, please provide all surrounding records, including but not limited to a list of all records which have been or are destroyed and/or removed, a description of the action (s) taken relevant to, generated in connection with, and/or issued in order to implement the action (s). This is intended to cover records destroyed or to be destroyed pursuant to any normal or special policies covering destruction of any documents that may be responsive to this request. I hereby request that any such destruction of records, whether pursuant to "normal" or spe-cial policy guidelines, be stayed until a court of competent ju-risdiction passes on the legality of such policies.
GAP requests that fees be waived, because "finding the information can be considered as primarily benefiting the general public," 5 U.S.C. $552(a)(4)(a). GAP is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest organization concerned with honest and ;
open government. Through public outreach, the Project promotes '
whistleblowers as agents of government accountability. Through its Citizens Clinic, GAP offers assistance to local public inter- i I
est and citizens groups seeking to ensure the health and safety l of their communities. GAP currently is working with and repre- !
sents several community groups and organizations in the Southwest l Ohio region. '
We are requesting the above information as part of an ongo-ing monitoring project on the adequacy of Region III's and OI's efforts to protect public health and safety in regards to the americium-241 incidents at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base located near Dayton, Ohio.
~
For any documents or portions of documents that you deny due to a specific FOIA exemption, please provide an index itemizing and describing the documents or portions of documents withheld.
The index.should provide a detailed justification of your grounds i for claiming each exemption, explaining why each exemption is relevant to the document or portion of document withheld. This index is required under Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir.
1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1974).
4 We look forward to your response to this request within ten working days. ,
Sincerely, Thomas E. Carpenter Director, Citizens Clinic GAP
