 		Legal issues with Ideltech and L3
Hello all!

This my first post on an ARG board...ever. This is also my first ARG! So, Hi Laughing everyone.

Over the last couple of days I have been trawling through previous posts on the forums, and that great Wiki guide that was set up; great help.

I will soon be studying a law degree, so I do know quite a bit about it (I have been reviewing textbooks Smile ) I was under the assumption that Ideltech were receiving Federal Money, so I sent...

Dear Mr Lake,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, I want a copy of and information that directly concerns Ideltech's main project-TOBI. I am of the understanding that other companies have been trying to attain TOBI through unscrupious means.

I believe that the above issue that will affect all of Ideltech's current employees, and I fell it is your duty to let us know details of the company/companies involved.

Furthermore, I believe release of these documents will primarily benefit all Ideltech employees', and the general public, and therefore there should be no charge. If there will be a fee, please inform me before you fill the request.

I am aware that the law provides for penalties for anyone who arbitrarily or capriciously withholds records.

If any part of my request is denied, please give me all records to which you think I am entitled. Please also tell me the exact reason for the denial, and tell me to whom I may appeal.

I look forward to hearing from you within 20 days, as required by the law.

Sincerely,
J.P
Ideltech





I received a rather harsh response,



Quote:



I was just contacted by Mr. Thesburg in regards to your email to us. Any
information regarding the purchase of Ideltech a privately held company
is not covered by the FOIA. Even though Ideltech had money invested in
it by the Department of Defense. Reviews of information that may or may
not be released cannot be done until the actual purchase of Ideltech
(Which doesn't look like it's going to happen.). So in other words. You
won't be receiving any information regarding this attempted purchase. If
the purchase happens the Department of Defense and the NSA's office
reviews all documentation and deems it available.

I've also been told that anymore attempts to push your
personal concerns over the company's will be dealth with by Mr. Thesburg
in regards to your employment.

Thank you and have a nice day,

Stephen Lake
