Freedom of Information: Release of Service Members' Addresses to a Political Campaign Committee.

Abstract

By letter dated October 2, 1984, the Reagan-Bush Campaign Committee requested DOD to provide the names and official business addresses of military personnel with homes or record in 16 selected states. The letter was later amended to include for additional states. In satisfying the request, DOD released almost 1.4 million names and addresses to a major political party's reelection campaign committee. The objective of our review was to determine if the Reagan-Bush Campaign Committee's request was processed in accordance with DOD regulations, and if not, why not.
