Chay,
Thank you for your note. I am writing to acknowledge that we are aware of your plans to
credit the CIA in the "special thanks" section of the credits and we approve it. Many
thanks.

Hi (b)(3)
Sorry to push but any feedback from your end? (b)(6)
They're trying to lock the movie tomorrow so if there's any way we can find out by then would
be great. I don't want the studio to remove CIA from special thanks if it is indeed approved.
Thanks!
Chay

Great to hear from you! Hope everything with the production is finishing up well. I will
run your question about the "special thanks" through the traps here at the Agency and get
back to you shortly.

And as an aside, the trailer has been making the rounds here, and everyone--from the boss on
down--loves it. We are really excited.
Anyway, hope all is well with you, and I'll be in touch.

We're getting ready to complete the movie and are working on our end credits. We'd like to
include the CIA under the "special thanks to" section. No one's name in particular, just the
Central Intelligence Agency to show our appreciation.
Is that okay to do? If so, we'll need someone to email us the official approval acknowledging
that they're aware we will credit the CIA in special thanks and approve it. If not, we'll of
course respect those wishes and not include.
Please let me know when you're able.
All best,
Chay
