Such information can be released to the public through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In Judy's situation, I would suggest she call the nearest Secret Service office and speak with the person incharge of FOIA, and ask how she should request info from the USSS about her grandfather. Hope this works. If not, she should contact her congress representative for assistance. Happy Holidays to All Mike
