For ease of processing we have combined your requests and have assigned your request the
reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding so that we can
identify it easily.
We cannot comply with your request. The CIA, whose primary mission is the
collection and analysis of foreign intelligence, has a vast amount of records in a variety of
offices and files that are indexed and therefore retrievable under the name of a specific
country or region of the world or under a broad subjects of public interest. An overly
broad search would locate a vast quantity of records, much of which would be extraneous,
mentioning the subject of the request only in passing, thus being of little or no value to

 you. Further, the review of such records would impose an excessive and unreasonable
burden on the Agency, and pursuant to relevant precedent, we must decline to process such
requests.
However, in an effort to assist you, for each item of your request we searched our
database of previously released records that contains copies of documents released over the
years to thousands of other FOIA requesters. Searches of this database can be
accomplished very expeditiously (since no review is required) and at little or no charge.
These records were originally located as a result of previous requests for information
concerning various subjects. As a result of this search, please find enclosed computerized
listings of documents using the search terms you provided. Please bear in mind that there
may be duplicate entries. If you would like to order documents from the enclosed listings,
please clearly mark those you want and return the listings to us. Document copies will be
provided at a cost of ten cents (US$.10) per page less the first 100 pages to which you are
entitled free. Because the page counts on the listings are not always accurate, please do not
send payment in advance. We will bill you at the time we provide the documents you
choose. At that time, we will ask you to make your check payable to the Treasurer of the
United States.-
If the information enclosed is not sufficient and you wish to pursue your request
further, we recommend that you narrow your time frame and provide more specific
information about your topics.
