Dear Mr. Blanton:
This is further to our letter of 20 October 2006 concerning your 16 October 2006
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all documents relating in whole or i>n
part to then CIA Director George Tenet's meeting with then National Security
Advisor Condoleeza Rice on July 10, 2001.
We accept your request and will process it according to the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. ? 552,
as amended, and the CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C. ? 431, as amended. Unless you
object, we will limit our search to CIA-originated records existing through the date of this
acceptance letter.
We determined that this request falls into the "news media" fee category, which
means that you will be required to pay only for the cost of reproducing released record.
You will be assessed for document copies at the rate often cents per page for pages ~~:~
excess of the first 100, to which you are entitled free.
The large number of FOIA requests CIA receives has created unavoidable delays
making it unlikely that we can respond within the 20 working days the FOIA requires.
You have the right to consider our honest appraisal as a denial of your request and you
may appeal to the Agency Release Panel. Amore practical approach would permit us to
continue processing your request and respond to you as soon as we can. You will retain
your appeal rights and, once you receive the results of our search, can appeal at that`time if
you wish. We will proceed on that basis unless you object.
