Dear Mr. Blanton:
This concerns your 12 December 2006 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
for "All Intelligence Estimates from 19 79-1980 related in whole or in part to Liberia. "
We accept your request and will process it in accordance with 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
obj ect.
Sincerely,
APPROVED FOR RELEASEL
