[REDUCTED]

Dear [REDUCTED]:

        Your recent letter requesting information concerning Dr. Nikola Tesla has been received.

        The effects of Dr. Tesla were impounded, after his death, by the office of Alien Property of the Department of Justice and not by the FBI. We have no preprinted material available for public distribution regarding Dr. Tesla. However, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (Title 5, United States Code, Section 552), requests have been made in the past regarding your topic and there may be documents available to you under Title 28--Code of Federal Regulations.

        If you are interested in seeking such documents under the Freedom of Information Act, you should make a separate inquiry, clearly marking the envelope and letter as a Freedom of Information Act request, and direct it to the Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 9th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D. C. 20535. In the letter you must request documents regarding the specific topic of interest to you.

                                                       Sincerely yours,

                                                       William L. Bailey
                                                          Assistant Director
