Documents / FOIA release
This is a FOIA response letter the FBI sent to Michael Best on November 21, 2016, signed by David M. Hardy, about request 1347908-000 on Fred Lee Crisman. The FBI reviewed 53 pages and released 37, with redactions under exemptions (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) and (b)(7)(D). Some material was referred to the Air Force. Other records were transferred to the National Archives, and one record was destroyed in 1977. The letter also explains how to appeal.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
