Dear Mr. Kopytoff:
This is a final response to your 8 December 2011 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request,
which we have interpreted as a request for information for the following:
Any agreements or contracts between the CIA and Google or Apple from Jan. 1, 2009 to
the present, or any additional documents as it relates to the agreements or the contracts.
We processed your request in accordance with the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. � 552, as amended, and the CIA
Information Act, 50 U.S.C. � 431, as amended. Our processing included a search for records that
reveal an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation existing up to and including the date the Agency
started its search and as described in our 12 January 2012 acceptance letter.
We completed a thorough search for records responsive to your request and located 11
documents, consisting of 121 pages, which we can release in segregable form with deletions made on
the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(6). Copies of the documents and an explanation
of exemptions are enclosed. Exemption (b)(3) pertains to information exempt from disclosure by
statute. The relevant statute if the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, 50 U.S.C. � 403g, as
amended, Section 6, which exempts from the disclosure requirement information pertaining to the
organization and functions, including those related to the protection of intelligence sources and
methods.
For any other information regarding the subject of your request, in accordance with section
3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, the CIA can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence
of records responsive to your request. The fact of the existence or nonexistence of requested records is
currently and properly classified and is intelligence sources and methods information that is protected
from disclosure by section 6 of the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, and section 102A(i)(1) of the
National Security Act of 1947, as amended. Therefore, your request is denied pursuant to FOIA
exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3).
As the CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator, I am the CIA official responsible for this
determination. You have the right to appeal this response to the Agency Release Panel, in my care,
within 45 days from the date of this letter. Please include the basis of your appeal.
