This subseries consists of materials created or collected by Siminoski in the course of his lawsuit against the FBI. The correspondence files document Siminoski’s relations with other individuals either seeking, or who had already obtained, access through the FOIA to FBI surveillance files on GLBT organizations; his travels and lectures on FBI surveillance of gays and lesbians; and his move in the summer of 1983 from Texas to Los Angeles, where his project found a home at Jim Kepner’s Western Gay Archives at 1654 North Hudson St. They also include a proposal from an admirer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for an unrealized television movie on Siminoski's life. The files contain both original and copy letters, many with Siminoski's handwritten notes attached; correspondents include Harry Hay, Frank Kameny, and Morris Kight. The interview notes and followup correspondence document Siminoski’s visits to Washington, DC, in 1982 and 1983, to interview members of the administration, Congressional staffers, and government experts concerning the FOIA; the latest notes in the file document a conversation with the assistant to journalist Randy Shilts, who had also obtained photocopies of many of the same FBI documents through his own FOIA request, and had published an account of these records in the San Francisco Chronicle in September 1989. Additional files in the subseries evidence the intensive media campaign Siminoski launched with the filing of his lawsuit in October 1983. These files include consultation with a media consultant, correspondence with the gay media, extensive mailing lists of gay media organizations and individuals, and a press kit. The subseries also includes press releases relating to the lawsuit issued by the ACLU Foundation, and itineraries documenting Siminoski’s extensive travels in furtherance of his project. Siminoski also collected information on leading GLBT organizations, such as the Gay Rights National Lobby (where he also applied for the position of executive director), Lambda Legal Defense, and the National Gay Task Force. The records of the Freedom of Information Project, which Siminoski instituted in late 1984 with the help of Kepner and his archives (renamed the International Gay and Lesbian Archives earlier in the year), are of particular interest, as they include Privacy Act Waiver Forms with the notarized signatures of many prominent members of the GLBT community in 1984, including Virginia Apuzzo, Allen Ginsberg, Frank Kameny, and Bruce Voeller.
