APPROVED FOR RELEASE[]
DATE: 03-01-2011
Dear Mr. Gingeras:
On 28 September 2010, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received your
20 September 2010 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for "information or records on the
May 1960 coup in Turkey." We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use
this number when corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
The CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C. ? 431, as amended, exempts CIA operational files from the
search, review, publication, and disclosure requirements of the FOIA. To the extent your request seeks
information that is subject to the FOIA, 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. Unless you object, we will search for
CIA-originated records existing through the date of this acceptance letter. As an act of administrative
discretion, and in accordance with our regulations, the Agency has waived the fees for this request.
The large number of FOIA requests CIA receives has created unavoidable 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
Acting Information and Privacy Coordinator
