DEFENSE SECURITY SERVICE
OFFICE OF FOI AND PRIVACY
ATTN: MR. LESLIE R. BLAKE
1340 BRADDOCK PLACE
ALEXANDRIA VA 22314-1651


Dear Mr. Blake:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 
552).

I request that a copy of the following document be provided to me:

    Department of Defense Polygraph Institute. (1995). 
    General Question Technique (GQT). 42 page outline.

This document has previously been released outside government 
channels. James Allen Matte cites this document at pp. 92 and 
464 of his book, Forensic Psychophysiology Using the Polygraph.

In order to help you determine my status for the purpose of 
assessing fees, you should know that this request is made for 
public awareness purposes and not for commercial use. 
AntiPolygraph.org is a grassroots organization of freely 
associating individuals and is not a profit-seeking enterprise.

I am willing to pay fees for this request up to a maximum of $25. 
If you estimate that the fees will exceed this limit, please 
inform me first.

I request, however, a waiver of fees for this request because 
disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public 
interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to 
public understanding of the operations and activities of the 
Department of Defense and is not in my commercial interest.


Sincerely,


George W. Maschke
AntiPolygraph.org
