FYI. I figure these URLs might be interesting for the inveterate researchers that populate this forum.
http://www.GovernmentAttic.org
An extravaganza of hundreds of documents and databases from government
agencies, apparently donated by journalists for journalists. There are tons
of story leads and resources here for reporters. Click on the link marked
DOCUMENTS at the top of the home page. Also dozens of FOIA Case Logs under that link. There is a search box and it works but is not as useful as
looking down the Document list.
Two recent additions to the Documents page are:
Military Records of VIPs List
http://www.governmentattic.org/2docs/NPRC_VIP_List_2009.pdf
FBI Dead List - a listing of people that the FBI acknowledges is dead and in
many cases for which the FBI holds files
http://www.governmentattic.org/2docs/FBI_RIDS_DeadList_2009.pdf

http://www.GetGrandpasFBIfile.com
This self-descriptive website show how to get records from the FBI and other

the FBI for any deceased newsworthy figure. I'm told it doesn't take as
long as long these days to get the results.
