I, Richard L. Huff, being first sworn, do hereby depose

and say:

1. I am the Deputy Director, Office of Privacy and Information Appeals, Office of the Associate Attorney General, United States Department of Justice. One of the duties of my staff is to review files within the Office of the Associate Attorney General that are the subject of a Freedom of Information Act request to determine what portions should be made available to the requester. The information set forth herein is based on knowledge obtained in my official capacity.

2. Since Mr. James F. Heimerle requested the federal employment records of Alan R. Naftalis and Barbara S. Jones and the signed oath of office of Robert B. Fiske, this matter was referred to my office, which is responsible for the processing of requests for access to those records of Department of Justice employees which are located in official personnel files maintained by the Office of the Associate Attorney General. Each such personnel file ordinarily consists of two portions: (1) administrative, which, for the most part, contains standard forms; and (2) a copy of a background investigation (the original of which is maintained in F.B.I. Headquarters),

which is primarily comprised of information compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Members of my staff have now completed a page-by-page review of the administrative portion of Mr. Naftalis' and Ms. Jones' files for the purpose of releasing to the plaintiff all information not deemed specifically exempt from release. On October 12, 1979, the plaintiff was advised that this processing had been completed and that all releasable material would be provided to him upon payment of duplication fees of $21.50. (Attachment A.) Such fees were received on November 14, 1979. The nonexempt materials were sent to Mr. Heimerle as an enclosure to a letter dated November 19, 1979. (Attachment B.) The determination regarding the background investigation portions of Mr. Naftalis' and Ms. Jones' files is stated in paragraph 10. An unexcised copy of Mr. Fiske's oath of office was provided to plaintiff.
