[Letter to Joanne Belk from Jon Cohen]

August 23, 1991 Joanne Belk National Institutes of Health Freedom of Information Office Bldg. 31, Room B239 9000 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20892 Dear Ms. Belk, Please send me the transcripts from the nine AIDS Program Advisory Committee meetings held to date. As I understand it, these meetings were open to the public. Nonetheless, I have been instructed by Deborah Faulton (spelling?), the woman who handles these transcripts (496-0357), that her superiors insist that I obtain these documents through the Freedom of Information Act. So please consider this a FOIA request. Because I am requesting these documents for a book I am writing on AIDS vaccine research, I believe their release is in the public's interest and I request a fee waiver. I understand that the documents may run thousands of pages; I am certain I could narrow the request if I could first receive agendas and/or minutes from each of the nine meetings. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Jon Cohen 3445 17th St. NW Washington, DC 20010 (202) 332-9564 or (202) 387-7517 5571095.0199.026
