Research Gaps: What Still Needs Primary Evidence

Highest Priority Requests

The most important gap is the full District of Maine record: complaint, injunction, opinion at 17 F.R.D. 96, enforcement orders, and contempt papers. The First Circuit opinion summarizes important facts, but the archive should hold the underlying documents.

The second priority is official FDA documentation: inspection files, correspondence, destruction records, and agency notices. Those records would clarify the scope of literature destruction and device enforcement.

• Request District of Maine case No. 1056 records through NARA or court archive paths.
• Request NLM litigation materials listed in the Aurora Karrer Reich Collection.
• Locate FDA Notices of Judgment entries and any related enforcement records.

Rights-Limited Publication Work

WRM appears to be the correct official path for many primary PDFs. The archive should purchase or request permission for those files before making claims based on full text. Until then, pages should cite product and finding-aid metadata, not unseen internal content.

Blocked Or Fragile Access

Several official sources have blocked automated capture in prior sweeps, including some court and FBI paths. This is not a reason to use pirated mirrors. It is a reason to document the block, use alternate official routes, and keep open action items visible.
