We received your 24 April 2009 facsimile appealing our 11 March 2009 final response to
your colleague Thomas Blanton's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all documents
"relating in whole or in part to then CIA Director George Tenet's meeting with then National
Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice on July 10, 2001." Specifically, you appealed our
determination to deny you access to material in its entirety on the basis of FOIA exemptions
(b)(1), (b)(3), and (b)(5).
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 af~ ~K - W"w4~
