The documents I was talking about was part of the appeal process, in Federal
Courts. I'm a little confused on the actual location because they told Kenn and
me two different things. Last word I got was that Vol 1-5 of the Suppressed and
Secret Evidence is now in the National Archives.

Eva Reich made a point of asking what has happened to the audio tapes of the
Supreme Court deliberations when they decided not to consider Reich's writ of a
certeriari (sp?). A call to the public info office of the Supreme Court told me
that these are also now in the National Archives.
Kenn Thomas wrote a fantastic article on how to use the Freedom of Information
Act and the National Archives. He used his research into Reich's case as an
example. Thanks Kenn! (Will appear in Flatland #13, now at the printers.)
