I mean about a FOIA request. Are we eligible?

Who may file a FOIA request?

Any U.S. citizen, foreign national, foreign government, state government, partnership, corporation, or association may make a FOIA request. Agencies are not required to process FOIA requests made by fugitives from justice or by an agency acting on behalf of a fugitive.

Requests for records of a Federal agency made by a Federal employee acting in his/her official capacity are not treated as FOIA requests. Instead, such requests are processed as requests made under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a).

I expect they're either scanned and destroyed or filed in some large government archive.
