Dear Mr. Mead:
On 10 June 2014, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received
your 10 June 2014 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining
to the decision and ultimate implementation of the @CIA Twitter account. Also, any
emails or internal documents discussing the content of the account's first tweet. 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 records up to and including the date the Agency starts its search. In
accordance with our regulations, as a matter of administrative discretion, 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
