Dear Mr. Vahter:
This is a final response to your 8 December 2012 Freedom of Information Act

3 January 2013, for records pertaining to Kuno Pajula. We have assigned your request

identify it easily.
In accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, the CIA can neither
confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to your request.
The fact of the existence or nonexistence of requested records is currently and properly
classified and is intelligence sources and methods information that is protected from
disclosure by section 6 of the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, and section 102A(i)(1) of the
National Security Act of 1947, as amended. Therefore, your request is denied pursuant to
FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). I have enclosed an explanation of these exemptions
