US Government works at their own speed. The FOIA requests I sent took between 3-5 months. And even worse i'm in the process of getting my DVD into the Library of Congress and we're still ongoing just passed 21 months, but they did get back to me in month 20, so at least I know it's in the pipeline. The problem your going to run into is, even though this contact is the point person, they might not have access to the info you're requesting, so it gets passed down the chain. Via Bureaucracy. What was the letter you wrote. Might toss another on their pile from my own hand. Was trying to determine what were the quickest ways for them to identify what they've got, if they are able to handle the merchandise. SW is easy, check out the crawl. Don't know the ESB reel changes well enough to identify a scene they could visibly identify without unrolling too much reel. But the idea of them looking at the actual reels, seems farfetched. Wonder if they are allowed to photograph the cases....
