Request for expense vouchers connected with James Hoffa's trial

The document is a response to a request for expense vouchers related to the investigation and trial of James Hoffa. The conclusion reached in the document is that the requested expense vouchers are not "identifiable records" within the meaning of the statute, and therefore the request is recommended to be denied. The document presents the difficulties and challenges in compiling the requested information, including the fact that vouchers are not classified by case, making it incredibly difficult to locate those connected with Hoffa's trial. The questions presented for review include the challenges in identifying and compiling the expense vouchers, as well as the interpretation of the "identifiable records" requirement under the Freedom of Information Act.
