Dear Mr. Vance:
This is a final response to your undated Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request, postmarked 26 December 2012, received in the office of the Information and
Privacy Coordinator on 3 January 2013, for "any and all records pertaining to
project/operation AMBANG." Please be advised that many of the records in which this
cryptonym appears have already been released as part of the JFK Assassination Records
Collection.
Please be advised that the records you seek have been reviewed and re-reviewed
under the less restrictive classification guidelines for assassination-related records of the
President John F. Kennedy Assassination Record Collection Act of 1992. The Agency
transferred these records to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
in compliance with this Act.
In addition, these records, along with assassination-related records of other
government agencies, have been re-reviewed by the Presidentially-appointed
Assassination Records Review Board. The Board had the authority to make new
determinations regarding the release of information on this subject. Following review by
the Board, these records were returned to NARA to be made available to the public
through NARA's JFK Assassination Records Collection. Therefore, in an effort to assist
you in the most efficient way possible, unless you object and insist that we conduct a
search in our portion of the collection, it is recommended that you submit your request to
NARA at the following address to obtain the most complete set of the records you seek:
