Subject: Request for Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR)
Dear MDR Officer,
Pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and applicable implementing regulations, I respectfully request a Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) of the following records related to the alleged “IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION” program:
- Records of the DoD Spokesperson’s Search: All records, notes, memoranda, or documentation related to the search conducted by the Department of Defense spokesperson (Sue Gough) in preparation for or in relation to her public denial of the existence of the “IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION” program, including search criteria, findings, and any internal discussions or analyses.
- Emails and Text Messages: All emails and text messages sent to or from Sue Gough containing the term “Immaculate Constellation” during the period from October 9, 2023, to December 2, 2024.
This request specifically pertains to records that are classified under national security or other applicable classification authorities. I request that all responsive records undergo a thorough review to determine if portions of the documents or the entirety of the information can be declassified.
If any portions of the requested records remain classified after the review, I request that any reasonably segregable, non-classified portions of the records be provided to me as required by applicable regulations.
Should the MDR result in a determination that no responsive records exist, or if any exemptions under Executive Order 13526 are applied, please provide a detailed justification, citing the specific authority and reasons for withholding the requested information.
Please acknowledge receipt of this request and provide an estimated timeline for processing. I am willing to pay reasonable fees for search, review, and duplication of the requested records. If the estimated fees exceed $50, please inform me beforehand.
If you have any questions regarding this request, feel free to contact me at the email or phone number provided above.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Bolin
