This is a final response to your undated (postmarked 15 April 2009) Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy
Coordinator on 22 April 2009. We interpret your request for "documentation regarding
the actions of this entity [In-Q-Tel] and/or your organization [CIA]."
We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this
number when corresponding with us so that we can identify it easily. With regard to that
portion of your request for records on yourself, that falls under the purview of the Privacy
Act and has been addressed via separate correspondence under P-2009-00616.
The Agency cannot accept your FOIA request, in its current form, because it
would require the Agency to perform an unreasonably burdensome search. The FOIA
requires requesters to "reasonably describe" the information they seek so that
professional employees familiar with the subject matter can locate responsive information
with a reasonable amount of effort. Because of the breadth and lack of specificity of your
request, and the way in which the Agency configures its records systems, the Agency
cannot conduct a reasonable search for information responsive to your request. We
encourage you to refine the scope of your request (such as including a time frame for, and
narrower, more specific descriptions of, the information you seek) to enable the Agency
to conduct a reasonable search for responsive information.
Sincerely,
Delores M. Nelson
Information and Privacy Coordinator
