Re: FOIA Request #F-2010-00075
Dear Ms. Nelson:
APPROVED FOR
RELEASE[] DATE:
06-16-2010
I have received your letter dated 4 November 2009 responding to our 8 October 2009
request. In it, you state your intention to send NSC "the same CIA-originated records" as you
are compiling for a previous request (presumably the request submitted by the James Madison
Project ("JMP") on 26 May 2008 with FOIA Request #F-2008-01309). However, this course of
action is insufficient for two reasons, both elucidated in the request letter. As the letter indicated,
Please also consider this letter an affirmative rejection of any limitation of your search to
CIA-originated records or to records created prior to the date of this request. To the
contrary, we stipulate that this search should be restricted to records created prior to the
date of the first substantive review of this request by CIA FOIA personnel (as opposed to
the date that receipt of the request was acknowledged by the CIA).
For this reason, the CIA is not allowed to limit its response to CIA-originated records (the JMP
request contained similar language, and I have notified them of your error). Similarly, the CIA is
not allowed to limit its response to records created prior to receipt of the JMP request. The JMP
request was submitted to CIA on 26 May 2008, and our request was submitted to CIA on 8
October 2009, more than sixteen months later.
In short, this time frame for responsive records for this request is broader than the JMP
request, and both requests explicitly rejected any limitation to CIA-originated records.
Therefore, the CIA is directed to process this request accordingly. We are willing consider your
forwarding of the records responsive to the JMP request as an acceptable interim response, but
that will not constitute a sufficient final response. The date on which you send this interim
response will serve as an acceptable end-date for the CIA's search for remaining responsive
records that are more recent than those responsive to the JMP request.
