Mr. Joel Whitney

Reference: F-2018-02402
Dear Mr. Whitney:
This is a final response to your undated, postmarked 14 August 2018, Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on
5 September 2018 for information or records on the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. We
assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding
with us so that we can identify it easily. 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. � 3141, as amended.
We completed a thorough search for records that would reveal an openly acknowledged
affiliation with the Agency and located four documents, consisting of 33 pages, which we can
release in segregable form with deletions made on the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and
(b)(3). Copies of the documents and an explanation of exemptions are enclosed. Exemption
(b)(3) pertains to information exempt from disclosure by statute. The relevant statutes are
Section 6 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended, and Section 102A(i)(1) of
the National Security Act of 1947, as amended.
To the extent that your request also seeks records that would reveal a classified association
between the CIA and the subject, if any exist, we can neither confirm nor deny having such
records, pursuant to Section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, as amended. If a classified
association between the subject and this organization were to exist, records revealing such a
relationship would be properly classified and require continued safeguards against unauthorized
disclosure. You may consider this finding a denial of this portion of your request pursuant to
FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). Exemption (b)(3) pertains to information exempt from
disclosure by statute. In this case, the relevant statutes are Section 6 of the Central Intelligence
Agency Act of 1949, 50 U.S.C. � 3507, as amended, and Section 102A(i)(1) of the National
Security Act of 1947, 50 U.S.C. 3024(i)(1), as amended. 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 90 days from the date of
this letter. Please include the basis of your appeal.
