Your agency has had more than ample time to process and grant my Sept. 18,
2004, appeal of the CIA FOIA coordinator's Sept. 9, 2004,
denial of my FOIA records-search-fee-waiver request of Aug. 9, 2004 (No.
F-2004-01956 -- by which I'd sought the waiver on the grounds of my
requester status as an independent writer researching background on the
"McCarthy Saga").
Having included in that appeal certain concrete, persuasive evidence of my
requester status (and having accumulated more of the same evidence since
that time), I hereby serve notice upon you that I'm instructing my
attorney, Mark S. Zaid, Esq., to file the appropriate complaint, on my
behalf, circa Dec. 27, 2004, in U. S. District Court for the District of
Columbia.
By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted
letter.

Subject Appeal of CIA Denial of My FOIA Request for a Records-Search FeeWaiver
Date Sat, September 18, 2004 4:10 am
From
TO: Director
U. S. Central Intelligence Agency
ATTN: ,Agency Release, Panel (c/o Mr. Scott Koch)
Washington, DC 20505
DATE: September 18, 2004
By his Sept. 9, 2004, letter denying my fee-waiver request of Aug. 9,
2004 (his reference No. F-2004-01956), CIA FOIA manager Scott Koch
errs in placing me in the requester category of "commercial" entity.
My demonstrable status as an independent writer-researcher
specializing in "national security" issues, public-records access,
and First Amendment commentary entitles me to the requested
records-search-fee waiver. What's more, his totally disingenuous,
knee-jerk assertion that the public would gain no "significant"
benefit from your agency's production of the sought-for records,in
this case of reported rogue CIA operations constitutes an
unacceptable administrative cop-out.
If you need concrete evidence of my news-media publication credits,
please consult the Internet via a "Google" search under my name
(Larry W. Bryant); in this regard, I also can provide related
correspondence between me and other agencies' FOIA-management
personnel (including those at the Departments of State and Interior).
As an update of my requester-status profile, here are my most recent
publication credits:
(1) One or more articles/book reviews carried in the newsstand magazine FATE;
(2) An expanded edition of my book "UFO Politics at the White House:
Citizens Rally 'round Jimmy Carter's Promise," due out shortly from
FATE's parent company, Galde Press.
In recent times, too, I've been contributing research to the
news/information web site of htttu://www.mili a y o r ption.com
As you peruse this record of "news media" representation/interaction
on my part, you cannot but conclude that my research/writing projects
have much more to do with the public's understanding (and oversight)
of government policies/activities/programs than they do with, say,
the CIA's documentation/methods-and-sources for determining the price
of tea in China.
If you insist on sustaining Mr. Koch's denial of my fee-waiver
request, I hereby serve notice that, through my attorney (Mark S.
 Printer Friendly s 9/
laid, Esq), I shall seek judicial relief via a complaint to be filed
within the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this
e-formatted message.
