In the course of its investigation, which began in 2009, the SSCI
reviewed millions of pages of records documenting the day-to-day
operations of the CIA's interrogation program. The Commission's intent
was to produce "a detailed, factual description of how interrogation
techniques were used, the conditions under which detainees were held, and
the intelligence that was�or wasn't�gained from the program." Joint

Committee, and Senator Carl Levin, Chairman, Senate Armed Services
Committee, Apr. 27, 2012, http://1.usa.gov/IKjkq0. After voting to
approve the SSCI Report, Senator Diane Feinstein stated, "The report
uncovers startling details about the CIA detention and interrogation
program and raises critical questions about intelligence operations and
oversight.,. The creation of long-term, clandestine `black sites' and the
use of so-called 'enhanced interrogation techniques' were terrible

AMERICAN (-Mt USER I IC:
UNION FUUNDATION
The CIA Report is of clear and enormous public importance. The
American public has a right to know the full truth about the torture and
other abusive treatment of detainees authorized by officials at the highest
levels of our government. A fair public debate of these issues must be
informed by both the Senate's comprehensive report (which the ACLU
has separately requested through FOIA) and the CIA's response to that
investigation. As Senator Mark Udall has said, "I am confident the
American people will agree once they have the opportunity to read the
[SSCI Report], as well as the CIA's official response, that this program
was a failure and a tragic moment in America's history." Udall Decries
Leak Concerning CIA's Response to the Senate Intelligence Committee's
Study on Detention, Interrogation Program, Senator Udall Statement, June
27, 2013, littp://1.usa.gov/lOnS4eX. Release ofthe CIA Report is
therefore critical to ensure timely public access to the intelligence
agency's assessment ol' its interrogation and detention practices after 9/1 I.
This significant information will contribute to both the historical record on
the United States' intelligence practices and current and future public
discussion about CIA rendition, detention and interrogation programs.
I. Record Requested
Requesters seek disclosure of the CIA's recently adopted report in
response to the SSCi Report on the CIA's rendition, detention, and
interrogation program in the years following 9/11.
With respect to the form of production, see 5 U.S.C.
� 552(a)(3)(13), we request that the CIA Report be provided electronically
in a text-searchable, static-image format (PDF), in the best image quality
in the agency's possession.
II. Application for Expedited Processing
We request expedited processing pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
� 552(a)(6)(E) and 32 C.F.R. � [900.34(c). There is a "compelling need"
for these records, as defined in the statute and regulations, because the
information requested is urgently needed by an organization primarily
engaged in disseminating information in order to inform the public about
actual or alleged government activity. 5 U.S.C, � 552(a)(6)(E)(v); see also
32 C.F.R. � 1900.34(c)(2). In addition, the records sought relate to a
"breaking news story of general public interest." 32 C.F.R.

information is relevant to a subject of public urgency concerning an actual
or alleged Federal government activity"),

Dissemination of information about actual or alleged government
activity is a critical and substantial component of the ACLU's mission and
work. The ACLU disseminates this information to educate the public and
promote the protection of civil liberties. The ACLU's regular means of
disseminating and editorializing information obtained through FOlA

people: a bi-weekly electronic newsletter distributed to approximately
300,000 subscribers; published reports, books, pamphlets, and fact sheets;
a widely read Wog; heavily visited wcbsites, including an accountability
microsite, hup://www.aclu.org/accountability, and a video series.

documents released through ACLU FOIA requests?
The ACLU website specifically includes features on information
about actual or alleged government activity obtained through FOIA! For
example, the ACLU maintains an online -Torture Database," a
compilation of over 100,000 FOIA documents that allows researchers and
die public to conduct sophisticated searches of FOIA documents relating
to government policies on rendition, detention, and interrogation! The
ACLU also maintains a "Torture FOR" webpage containing commentary
about the ACLU's FOIA request, press releases, and analysis of the FOIA
documents.' (That webpage also notes that the ACLU, in collaboration
with Columbia University Press, has published a book about the
documents obtained through FOR. See Jame& Jailer & Amrit Singh,
Administration of Torture: A Documentary Record from Washington to
Abu Cihraib and Beyond (Columbia Univ. Press 2007)). Similarly, the
ACLU's webpage about the Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC") torture
memos obtained through FOIA contains commentary and analysis of the
memos; an original, comprehensive chart summarizing the memos; links
to web features created by ProPubliea (an independent, non-profit,
investigative-journalism organization) based on the ACLU's information
gathering, research, and analysis: and ACLU videos about the memos: In
addition to websites, the ACLU has produced an in-depth television series

The ACLU plans to analyze and disseminate to the public the
information gathered through this Request. The record requested is not
sought for commercial use, and the Requesters plan to disseminate the
information disclosed as a result of this Request to the public at no cost.5
B. The record sought is urgently needed to inform the public
about actual or alleged government aCtivity.
The CIA Report is urgently needed to inform the public about
actual or alleged government activity; moreover, this document relates to a
breaking news story of general public interest, specifically, the CIA's
rendition, detention and interrogation program and its authorization of
abusive techniques between 2002 and 2009. See 32 C.F.R.
� 1900.34(0(2).
We make this Request to fitrther the public's understanding of the
CIA's program and the role of senior officials in conceiving or and
authorizing the use of abusive interrogation techniques in the wake of
September 11,2001. The public has and continues LO manifest an abiding
interest in the conduct of the CIA and other executive agencies with
respect to individuals seized, detained, and interrogated for
counterterrorism purposes. While U.S. intelligence officials have
acknowledged that the CIA used harsh and coercive interrogation
techniques, Congress's SSCI Report investigation set forth the most
comprehensive account to date of what happened and why. Thus, release
of the CIA's Report in response to the SSCI's findings is imperative for
establishing a full and accurate analysis of the intelligence agency's
practices.
The contents of the CIA Report will inform urgent and ongoing
debate about the agency's interrogation program. Release of the CIA's
analysis of SSCI findings will enhance public discourse by providing the
intelligence community's perspective on, "one of the most controversial
programs in its history." Greg Miller and Julie Tate, CIA Report Refittes

Thus, the ACLU's request for expedited processing should be
granted.
� In addition to the national ACLU offices, there are 53 AC:LU affiliate and national
chapter offices located Throughout the United Stares and Puerto Rico. These offices
further disseminate ACLU material to local residents, schools, and organizations through

ilL AnOication for Waiver or Limitation of Fees
A. Release of the record is in the public interest,
We request a waiver of search, review, and reproduction fees on
the grounds that disclosure of the requested record is in the public interest
because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding
of the United States government's operations or activities and is not
primarily in the commercial interest of thc requester. 5 U.S.C.
� 552(a)(4)(A)(iii); 32 C.F.R. � I 900.13(b)(2).
The CIA Report will significantly contribute to public
understanding of the government's operations or activities. Moreover,
disclosure is not in the ACLU's commercial interest. Any information
obtained by the ACLU as a result of this FOIA request will be available to
the public at no cost. See 32 C.F.R. � 1900.13(b)(2).
Thus, a fee waiver would fulfill Congress's legislative intent in
amending FOIA. See Judicial Watch Inc v. Rossotti, 326 F.3d 1309, 1312
(D.C. Cir. 2003) ("Congress amended FOLA to ensure that it he liberally
construed in favor of waivers IbT noncommercial requesters." (internal
quotation marks and citation omitted)); OPEN Government Act of 2007.
Pub. L. No. 110-175, � 2, 121 Stat. 2524 (finding that "disclosure, not
secrecy, is the dominant objective of the Act," quoting Dept alAir Force
v Rose, 425 U.S. 352, 361 (1992)).
13. The ACLU qualifies as a representative of the news media
A waiver of search and review fees is warranted because the
ACLU qualifies as a -representative of the news media" and the SSC1
Report is not sought for commercial use. 5 U.S.C. � 552(a)(4)(A)(ii); see
also 32 C.F.R. � 1900.02(h)(3), Accordingly, fees associated with the
processing of this request should be "limited to reasonable standard
charges for document duplication."
The ACLU meets the statutory and regulatory definitions of a
"representative of the news media" because it is an "entity that gathers
information of potential interest to a segment of the public, uses its
editorial skills to turn the raw materials into a distinct work, and
distributes that work to an audience." 5 U.S.C. � 552(a)(4)(A)(ii)(11); see

* *
Pursuant to applicable statute and regulations, we expect a
determination regarding expedited processing within ten (10) calendar
days. See 5 U.S.C. � 552(a)(6)(E)00(1); 32 C.F.R. � 1900.21(d).
If the request is denied in whole or in part, we ask that you justify
all withholdings by reference to specific exemptions to the FOIA. We also
ask that you release all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material.
90n account of these factors, fees associated with responding to FOIA requests are
regularly waived for the ACLU. In June 2011, the National Security Division of the
Department of Justice granted a fee waiver to the ACLU with respect to a request for
documents relating to the interpretation and implementation via section of the PATRIOT
ACT, in October 2010, the Department of the Navy granted a fee waiver to the ACLU
with respect to a request for documents regarding the deaths of detainees in U.S. custody.
In January 2009, the CIA granted a fee waiver with respect to the same request. In March
2009, the State Department granted a fee waiver to the ACLU with regard to a FOIA
request submitted in December 2008. The Department ofJus-tice granted a fee waiver to
the ACLU with regard to the same FOIA request, In November 2006, the Department of
health and Human Services granted a fee waiver to the ACLU with regard to a FOIA
request submitted in November of 2006. In May 2005, the U.S Department of
Commerce granted a fee waiver to the ACLU with respect to its request for information
regarding the radio-frequency identification chips in United States passports, In March
2005, the Department of State granted a lee waiver to the ACLU with regard to a request
regarding the use of immigration laws to exclude prominent nun-citizen scholars and
intellectuals from the country because of their political views, statements, Or associations.
In addition, the Department of Defense did nut charge the ACLU fees associated with
FOIA requests submitted by the ACLU in April 2007, June 2006, February 2006, and
October 2003 The Department elks-nee did not charge the ACLU fees associated with
FOIA requests submitted by the ACE).) in November 2007, December 2005, and
December 2004 Finally, three separate agencies�the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, and the Office of Information and Privacy
