Dear Mr. Larson:

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act request
dated January 3, 1998, for information maintained by the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

You have requested "a complete and unredacted copy of the videotape
created by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms which 
pictures Mr. Thomas Busey, Chief, National Firearms Act Branch,
during a "Roll Call" Training Session, on or about October 18, 1995."
Your request is denied pursuant to Title 5, U.S.C. 552(b)(6) as
release of this video tape would constitute an invasion of Mr.
Busey's privacy.

Insofar as your request has been denied, you have the right to request
an administrative appeal.  Such appeal must be addressed to the
Assistant Director, Liaison and Public Information, at the above
address and be received within 35 days of the date appearing on this
letter.  Your letter should state any arguments in support of your
request.

			Sincerely yours,

			(signed--Marilyn R. LaBrie)
