APPROVED FOR RELEASED
DATE: 02-Apr-2010
On 5 December 2007, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator
received your 27 November 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for
information on Richard C. Doty. Specifically, you are requesting information on "the
[CIA] use of his services for any reason, or employment of this individual." Please use
the reference number cited above in correspondence regarding this request.
The information you are asking for must be denied to you since it is classified
under the provisions of Executive Order 12958. In addition, Section 6 of the CIA Act of
1949 exempts from disclosure "the organization, functions, names, official titles, salaries,
or numbers of personnel employed by the Agency." Exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3) of the
FOIA apply. An explanation of these exemptions is enclosed.
We trust you can appreciate the necessity for an intelligence organization to protect
such information. CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator Scott Koch made this
decision, which you may appeal to the Agency Release Panel, in my care, within 45 days
from the date of this letter. You may include any additional information supporting your
position or explaining why you think our initial decision is wrong.

Information and Privacy Coordinator
