Documents / FOIA release
This CIA FOIA release, received in December 2004, holds two emails from researcher Larry W. Bryant to the CIA Director about FOIA request F-2004-01956. On September 18, 2004, Bryant appealed the denial of his request for a records-search fee waiver, which he had sought as an independent writer researching the "McCarthy Saga". His December 5, 2004 follow-up said his attorney, Mark S. Zaid, would file a complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia around December 27, 2004.
