Mr. John Greenewald, Jr.
(b)(6)
Reference: F-2014-01303
Dear Mr. Greenewald:
This is a final response to your 10 April 2014 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on 11 April 2014,
for "a copy of all communications, electronic or otherwise, between the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) and Google, Inc., from January 1, 2014 to date."
The FOIA requires requesters to "reasonably describe" the information they seek so that
professional employees familiar with the subject matter can locate responsive information with a
reasonable amount of effort. Commonly this equates to a requirement that the documents must
be locatable through the indexing of our various systems. Extremely broad or vague requests or
requests requiring research do not satisfy this requirement. We require requesters seeking any
form of "electronic communications" such as emails, to provide the specific "to" and "from"
recipients, time frame and subject. We note that you have provided the time frame only.
Therefore, we must decline your request.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
