TO          : Mr. Bresson               DATE: 2/25/80

FROM     : [REDUCTED]

SUBJECT : FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DISCLOSURE REGARDING DR. NIKOLA TESLA

PURPOSE:

        To reduce time spent on handling of requests for information on captioned subject and to promote uniformity of disclosure.

DETAILS:

        A search of FBIHQ central records indices reflects that Dr. Nikola Tesla is carried as the subject of Bufile 100-2237. Virtually all information in this file is inquiry-type correspondence. For purposes of FOIA releases, copies of this material have not been made and requesters have been so advised. Copies of the remaining material in the file totalling 29 pages, however, has been processed for disclosure. Numerous requesters have sought information relating to Dr. Tesla under the FOIA. Therefore, it is recommended that the disclosure documents maintained in Bufile 190-16504-4 be considered the preprocessed release appropriate for responses by the Initial Processing Unit for any further requests for information on this subject.

RECOMMENDATION:

        That the Initial Processing Unit, FOIPA Branch, Records Management Division, and captioned case to their list of preprocessed cases and handle any future requests for such information.
