It's outside the realm of your usual FOIA requests, but since I'm out of requests for the month (and already bought more than a few extra...) I figured I'd mention it. 

While posting docs related to the MLK assassination trial, I realized that Loyd Jowers, who confessed to playing a part in the MLK assassination a few months before his death, surely has an FBI file. The DOJ did a follow-up investigation and their report concluded he and the other witnesses were lying, but it'd be interesting to see what the FBI had on him and what materials the DOJ/FBI referenced beyond the trial transcript. 

Let me know if you file anything on it, otherwise I'll try to get to it next month (unless I get distracted by other shiny FOIAs/projects/IRL (what do I mean, this listserv isn't real?!?) stuffs).

still have one FOIA left for January; trying to pick a topic... it must beat this one, in terms of poking bear caliber:
