Dear Mr. Reynolds:
This letter concludes our processing of your 10 May 2002 Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request for records on TWA Flight 800. As you will
recall, in our 12 July 2002 letter we informed you that we had already
initiated searches for this material for a FOIA request received prior to yours.
We cross-referenced your request to the earlier one in order to send you any
records that were found to be releasable.
The earlier case was recently concluded. Enclosed is material that can
be released in segregable form with deletions made on the basis of FOIA
exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3) and/or (b)(6). We determined that additional material
is properly classified and must be denied in its entirety on the basis of FOIA
exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). An explanation of exemptions is enclosed at
Tab A with copies of the documents.
We also located United States Government material that CIA did not
originate. This material appears to be relevant to your request and has been
referred to its originating agency for review and direct response to you.
You have the right to appeal these decisions concerning the Tab A
records by addressing your appeal to the Agency Release Panel within 45 days
from the date of this letter, in my care. Should you choose to do this, please
explain the basis of your appeal.
We have also enclosed material at Tab B that was previously released to
a requester in connection with an ongoing litigation. Redactions were made on
the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(7)(C). Should any
additional information be released as a result of that litigation, copies will be
provided to you.

The CIA regulations governing administrative appeals are set forth at
32 C.F.R. sect. 1900.42. Those regulations state that no appeal shall be
accepted if the information in question is the subject of litigation in the federal
courts. Therefore, as a result of the pending litigation and the response in this
letter, you have no appeal rights regarding records at Tab B.
As a requester in the "news media" fee category you are entitled to the
first 100 pages free of charge. Copying costs are ten cents per page. Therefore,
the cost associated with processing the enclosed 658 pages amounts to $55.80.
Please forward your check or money order to me, payable to the Treasurer of
the United States and cite Reference Number F-2002 00996 to ensure proper
credit to your account.
We appreciate your patience while we were processing this request.
Sincerely,
Scott Koch
