Would it have been feasible for a FOIA to reveal the origin from the primary source?

EDIT: ah, one of the linked authors tried that. They had no documentation on it. https://saweis.net/posts/nist-curve-seed-origins.html

Yep.

I think part of it is I don't know how to write these FOIA requests in the right way they can comply with it. I think you need to be more specific.
