RE: FOIA Request No. HHS-95-FI-2847

Dear Dr. Reyes:

This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act
request dated August 14, 1995, in which you requested records
pertaining to federally funded behavioral or psychological
research programs involving minor subjects conducted between
1960 and 1980.

After a thorough search of Department records, we have determined
that the Department of Health and Human Services has no records
responsive to your request.

If you believe this determination is in error, you may appeal
this response within 60 days to the FOIA Appeals Office at the
above address.

Sincerely,




FOIA Officer
