Dear Mr. Smith:
On 18 May 2010, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received
your 13 May 2010 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records "relating to uranium
diversion from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) to Israel." We have
assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding
so that we can identify it easily.
The CIA Infonnation 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 limit our search to CIA-originated records existing through the
date of this acceptance letter. As a matter 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
