          Dear Mr. Kassick,

           

          Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

           

          We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Search and Rescue Case Files, 1/1965 - 12/1982 and Reports of Search and Rescue Actions, 1954 - 1992 in the Records of the U.S. Coast Guard (Record Group 26). Please email the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) at Archives1reference@nara.gov for more information about these records. There also may be records pertaining to the air station at the National Archives at Boston (RE-BO), which may be emailed at boston.archives@nara.gov.

           

          Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1 and RE-BO. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

           

          We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
