Reference: F-2007-01792
Dear Mr. Kopytoff:
On 30 July 2007 the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received
your 19 July 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:
"1. All contracts involving Google as a vendor, product supplier or
consultant from Aug. 1, 2006 to the present.
2. The 500 most recent e-mails to and from the address ending with
@google.com, Google's corporate e-mail domain."
We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when
corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
We accept item 1 above and the portion of your FOIA request that seeks "the 500
most recent e-mails from the address ending with @google.com." We will process it
according to the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. � 552, as amended, and the CIA Information Act,
50 U.S.C. � 431, as amended. Unless you object, we will limit our search to CIA-
originated records existing through the date of this acceptance letter.
The Agency cannot accept the portion of your FOIA request that seeks "the 500
most recent e-mails to the address ending with @google.com" because it would require
the Agency to perform an unreasonably burdensome search. 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. Because of the breadth and lack of specificity of this portion of your request, and
the way in which the Agency configures its records systems, the Agency cannot conduct a
reasonable search for information responsive to this portion of your request.

Mr. Verne Kopytoff
Based on the information provided in your letter, we determined that Your request
falls into the "news media" fee category. You must pay only for the cost of reproducing
released records, which is ten cents per page after the first 100 copies, which you receive
free.
� 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.
Information and Privacy Coordinator
