Please refer to this number in future correspondence about this request. We have searched our database of previously released records. The results of earlier searches are stored in a database that contains copies of documents released over the years to thousands of other FOIA requesters. Searches of this database, containing over 500,000 pages, can be accomplished very expeditiously (since no review is required) and at little or no charge. Unfortunately, our search of previously released documents yielded no hits. Although there is no charge for this particular search, please note that we normally require a full fee commitment prior to processing a FOIA request. A copy of our fee schedule is enclosed for your information. Please be aware that many of the items requested fall outside of this agency's purview. The mission of the Central Intelligence Agency is primarily concerned with foreign intelligence -- not domestic -- matters. Section 103(d)(1) of the National Security Act, as amended, specifically provides that "the Agency shall have no police, subpoena, law-enforcement powers, or internal security functions." Executive Order 12333, which regulates the  conduct of intelligence activities in the United States and elsewhere, provides that the responsibility for domestic intelligence collection is generally within the province of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A very limited exception to the Order is provided which permits other agencies within the intelligence community to collect significant foreign intelligence and counterintelligence, provided that no such effort shall be undertaken for the purpose of acquiring information about the domestic activities of United States persons. Lastly, you may wish to utilize the Internet to locate information on your topics of interest. For example, go to htIR://www.gRoaccess.gov/911 to access the full 585-page 9/11 Commission Report. The report's "Executive Summary" is enclosed. Sincerely, Scott Koch Acting Information and Privacy Coordinator
