A request to the Central Intelligence Agency for
all agency records related to Peoples Temple, Jonestown, and the Rev.
James W. Jones. This request asks the CIA for little more than to
reconsider its earlier decisions to withhold most of the records it
located immediately after the deaths in Jonestown.
A request to the Criminal Division of the Justice Department
for all government records related to the trials of Larry Layton.
This request ended up involving other divisions as well – among
them, the Office of International Affairs, and Violent Crime and Terrorism
division – but an agency spokesperson reported that the materials
have been gathered at one place and are now ready for review.
A request to the State Department for all materials
which U.S. Embassy personnel removed from Jonestown and did not turn
over immediately to the FBI. State has granted a fee waiver on this
request and has begun to process the material.
