FEB 1 9 2008 Mr. Jesse Franzblau The National Security Archive Gelman Library, Suite 701 2130 H Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20037 Reference: F-2007-0 1669 / Archive #20071339CIA170 Dear Mr. Franzblau: This concerns your 12 July 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for: All documents related to the military bombing raids carried out in the Mexican state of Guerrero in 1974. Documents should include but not be limited to Intelligence Information Reports, assessments, memoranda, cables, and finished intelligence that mention the following incidents: - The 30 June 1974 bombardment in the Cerro "Del Encanto" - The 13 July 1974 bombardment in the "Corrales de Rio Chiquito" - The 17 August 1974 bombardment in Los Cajones (between El Camaron and Los Valles) 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. Based on the information provided in your letter, we determined that your request falls into the "all other" fee category, which means that you will be required.to pay charges that recover the cost of searching for and reproducing responsive records (if any) beyond the first 100 pages of reproduction and the first two hours of search time, which are free. Copies are ten cents per page. However, as an act of administrative discretion, there will be no charge for processing this request. Despite our best efforts, the large number of FOIA requests CIA receives has created unavoidable processing 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. A more 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. Sincerely, Scott Koch Information and Privacy Coordinator
