I would bet that they are long gone. Records were mostly paper in 1983, and I bet someone pulled and destroyed them.
It was shortly after the DNC convention that a freeper who had been a missionary in Kenya gave us great details of his birth there. After a couple of unfortunate murders of other missionaries from both the time period and the vacinity, she asked that we not speak of it publicly as friends and family were still serving in the field and she went into hiding. It was our search to support her memory that started the birther movement on FR As we search material would disappear as we shared it.....
Why would a missionary lie about his birth years before he declared he was a candidate? Why would supporting material disappear?
