"Save and lock up this report on Sarah Jane Moore. I want to keep it." - Dick Cheney to his assistant Kathie Berger, 10/4/75.
The Secret Service report on Sara Jane Moore is still classified. I just filed a Mandatory Declassification Request (MDR) for it. Hope to get it in ten years or so.
I had completely forgotten about this FOIA from four years ago. Thanks Fort Belvoir FOIA QA Dept!
