Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
FEB 27 2001
Mr. James Reed
Reference: F-2001-00291
Dear Mr. Reed:
This acknowledges receipt of your undated letter, received 13 February
2001, requesting records under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA). Specifically, your request is for records pertaining to "the
November 1975 SchizoCulture Conference at Columbia University,
organized by Sylvere Lotringer." For identification purposes we have
assigned your request the number referenced above. Please refer to this
number in future correspondence.
Please be advised that the mission of the Central Intelligence Agency is
primarily concerned with foreign intelligence -- not domestic -- matters.
Section 103(d)(1) of the National Security Act, as amended, specifically
provides that "the Agency shall have no police, subpoena, law-enforcement
powers, or internal security functions." Executive Order 12333, which
regulates the conduct of intelligence activities in the United States and
elsewhere, provides that the responsibility for domestic intelligence collection
is generally within the province of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
A very limited exception to the Order is provided which permits other agencies
within the intelligence community to collect significant foreign intelligence and
counterintelligence, provided that no such effort shall be undertaken for the
purpose of acquiring information about the domestic activities of United States
persons. Based on the above, we regret that we must decline to process your
request.
Sincerely,
41#
Kathryn I. Dyer
Information and Privacy Coordinator
