Dear Sir or Madam:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552). I request that a copy of the following documents be
provided to me:
1. NSA/CSS Regulation No. 122-3, Polygraph Examination and
Examiners, Annex D (April 6, 1984) and any superceding
version of, or amendment to, this regulation.
2. Any other NSA rule, regulation, directive, or similar
document related to polygraph policy.
The specific document cited above is mentioned in the
bibliography of James Bamford's book, Body of Secrets, and a
copy of it was evidently made available to him.
In order to help you determine my status for the purpose of
assessing fees, you should know that this request is made for
public interest purposes and not for commercial use. Any
documents released pursuant to this request will be made
publicly available at no cost on the website AntiPolygraph.org.
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 or activities of the NSA
and is not in my commercial interest.
Sincerely,
George W. Maschke
