Mr. Jason Leopold
Reference: F-2014-00897
Dear Mr. Leopold:
On 24 February 2014, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received your
23 February 2014 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request where you are seeking from the
CIA Inspector General copies of all reports on investigations the Inspector General conducted that
were closed over the past year (January 2013 through the date the search is conducted). We have
assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding so
that we can identify it easily.
The CIA Information 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 we will process
it in accordance with the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. � 552, as amended. We will search for CIA-originated
records up to and including the date the Agency starts its search. Because we believe fees will be
minimal, 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,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
