DO YOU WANT A LIST OF MILITARY TECHNICAL REPORTS ON THE SUBJECT OF

reports have been locked away for various bureaucratic reasons and have 
not been put into the public domain.

Here are some subject keywords with which you can obtain a LIST of
several hundred military technical reports on 3D - photography and 
related subjects from the Defense Technical Information Center, a 
government agency. [see way down below]  Suggest you limit the number of 
keywords you select to ten or less.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Do not bother using the DTIC web site--in a nutshell,
it is worthless because the web site omits most of the two million
technical reports in the DTIC collection. [Most of these reports are
NOT, repeat NOT, repeat NOT in the NTIS collection, and have been
unavailable to the public.]  Send a letter instead--you will get much
better results.

The fee is likely to be free or only a few bucks.  You probably want to
include a statement in the letter such as *I agree to pay reasonable
fees associated with this request.  Please notify me if the cost will
exceed $25.*,  so that they won't delay the processing of the request.
Remember, they WILL try to dissuade you from asking for such a list.  If
they send you a letter, and you do not respond, they will withdraw your
request and you will not get your information.

Here is a form letter to use for your request:

To:    Defense Technical Information Center
       Attn:  DTIC-RSM [Kelly D. Akers, FOIA Manager]
       8725 John J. Kingman Road, Suite 0944
       Fort Belvoir, VA  22060-6128  USA
Phone:  703-767-9194

Dear Ms. Akers:

_______ ALL YEARS IN YOUR COMPUTERIZED INDEX (late 1950's to present)

This is a request for DTIC records.  Please don't forward my request to
NTIS.  Please include both classified and unclassified records in your
search.  If any of the records are classified, please review them for
release, or the release of nonsensitive portions.

I am an individual, noncommercial requester and this request is not
being made for commercial purposes.  [OR YOU MIGHT INSTEAD INDICATE
DIFFERENTLY IF YOU ARE A COMMERCIAL REQUESTER, OR AN EDUCATIONAL OR
SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MEDIA]  I also agree
to pay up to $25 for reasonable fees associated with this request.

Sincerely,

______________
