FOIA requests

Hello I am from the US and I have had an interest in this topic for the last the decade. Has anyone filed or requested FOIA about individuals, events, dates, reports, or communications? Agencies like the DEA, CIA, FBI etc. I have done this in the past and received a good chunk of the information I had requested. If I can help in anyway please let me know. I apologize for not speaking French or Dutch.

Zie ook het topic "Onbekende lijken".

I have a copy and paste for FOIA requests. They main thing I'll need is important dates names and locations.

Here is an example:
