Selective Service System officials are denying the public access to microfilm records of President Obama’s draft registration form.
In a dramatic jurisdictional showdown between local law enforcement and federal government, the Selective Service System is blocking investigators with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (Ariz.) Cold Case Posse, led by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, from inspecting microfilm critical to determining if two previously released copies of President Obama’s selective service registration were forged.
In response to a May 9, 2012 emergency letter from lead investigator Michael Zullo to Selective Service System Director Lawrence Romo, demanding to know if the agency is in possession of original microfilm and microfilm copies of President Obama’s draft registration records, Associate Director for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Richard Flahavan responded with an evasive, general letter.
That response on March 10, 2012 provided general guidelines and regulations concerning draft registration records, but failed to clarify anything about President Obama’s records specifically.
The letter also failed to specifically address Zullo’s concerns that microfilm rolls which should hold Obama’s draft registration records could have been destroyed since being designated federal nonrecords under new privacy rules.
In their latest response, the Selective Service System did not provide Cold Case Posse investigators with requested specifics about the location of the record copy of microfilm registration records for men born after January 1, 1960, which would presumably include the registration records of President Obama, beyond a general statement that "they are stored at a secure Federal Records Center facility".
