RELEASE^ DATE:

We received your 13 April 2009 letter appealing our 27 February 2009 final response to
your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for "copies of the following articles published
in the Central Intelligence Agency ('CIA') in-house journal Studies in Intelligence:
1) Copeland, Miles. "The Game of Nations: the Amorality of Power
Politics," Studies in Intelligence 14/1 (Spring 1970): 107-112;
2) Montague, Ludwell Lee. "The Psychological Strategy Board," Studies
in Intelligence 17/2 (Summer 1973);
3) "An Article on the Art of Intelligence Analysis," Studies in Intelligence
30/3 (Fall 1986);
4) "Bestiary of Intelligence Writing," Studies in Intelligence 26/3 (Fall
1982);
5) "CIA and Academe," Studies in Intelligence 27/4 (Winter 1983);
6) "Intelligence and Policy: The On-Going Debate," Studies in Intelligence
24/4 (Winter 1980): 9-15.
7) "The International Arena in the Year 2000," Studies in Intelligence 29/3
(Fall 1985);
8) "Interrogation of an Alleged CIA Agent," Studies in Intelligence 23/1
(Spring 1983);
9) "The Shah's Illness and the Fall of Iran," Studies in Intelligence 24/2
(Summer 1980): 61-63;
10) "Strategic Warning and Deception," Studies in Intelligence 17/1 (Spring
1973); and
11) "Teaching Intelligence," Studies in Intelligence 26/4 (Winter 1982)."
Specifically, you appealed our determination to deny you access to portions of material in five
documents, identified in items 4, 5, 6, 9, and 11 only, on the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(1),
(b)(2), and (b)(3).
 Your appeal has been accepted and arrangements will be made for its consideration by
the appropriate members of the Agency Release Panel. You will be advised of the
determinations made.
In order to afford requesters the most equitable treatment possible, we have adopted the
policy of handling appeals on a first-received, first-out basis. Despite our best efforts, the large
number of appeals that CIA receives has created unavoidable processing delays making it
unlikely that we can respond within 20 working days. In view of this, some delay in our reply
must be expected, but every reasonable effort will be made to respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
c~i~i a'M, ~X - W44~
