Always a good thing to include. From what I sent on January 22:
Due to the important role that Thomas Clines has played in the
Intelligence Community (IC) and U.S. history, I believe that the release
and distribution of files relating to him will benefit the public by
improving their understanding of how the government operates and of the
individuals making up the IC.
Suggestion from a FoaF:
'It looks like the FBI is charging you $940 in duplication fees, which
unfortunately are not a type of fee that the FOIA waives based on requester
status (those waivers apply to search and review fees).
'However, the FOIA does say that an agency "shall" reduce or drop
processing fees altogether "if disclosure of the information is in the
public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public
understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not
primarily in the commercial interest of the requester."'

D'oh! Turns out RequestPolicy blocks stripe.com by default. I
whitelisted it and was able to donate.

Hi, Michael. I'm trying to donate, but it just says "There was an error
processing your request. Your card has not been charged." Do I need to sign
up for their premium plan to be able to donate?

He was central to Iran-Contra, the Cuban operations, Pinochet's coup
and rise to power, the secret war in Laos, and EATSCO along with Ed Wilson
- though he made a deal to escape prosecution.
