Sandy ... your last posting reminded me of my most current contact with the FBI ... TRUE STORY! About six years ago, and I don't remember why, I decided that I should send for my FBI file, requesting it under the freedom of information act that you refer to. WELL ... let me tell you ... what an adventure. I called the Seattle FBI office, left a message with my request. Three weeks later I received a form, which I dutifully filled out. I mailed it to San Francisco (it's still in California but the FBI is working on changing that). Nine weeks later I received the same form, origainal request, this time from Virginia, asking me to start all over again. So I did. Months later, I received a request, again from Virgina, demanding a notarized statement that I am me! I jumped through this hoop. Months later, I received a request for $19, proccessing fee. At this point I said something that sounded a lot like phooey, and gave up. Besides, it was my honeymoon weekend with beautiful bride Judy (but that's another thread). I swear that, this Winter, I'm going to start the request all over again. We are remodeling out home, and we need wallpaper for the bathroom! CHEERS, Bob
