(U//A444A) FOIA Requests
(W/A-117171) Italian Journalist Receives Information about Assassination Attempt on Pope
(UHRIT70) An Italian journalist in New York who works for La Stampa newspaper, and who is a frequent requester
of CIA information under the FOIA, submitted a request for CIA information between the years 1981 and 1991 on
"the assassination attempt of Pope John Paul II," which occurred in May 1981, and on "Mehmet Ali Acga," the
individual convicted of shooting the Pope. He also asked for information regarding Bulgaria's involvement in the

(Uth41440) Californian Wants Information About Microchips in His Jaw
(UM11.1 ) A writer from California asks about the microchips implanted in his jaw muscle that cause him to
"receive messages both sound and visual." He believes the microchips were intended for his tooth but placed in his
jaw instead. Also, he offered a theory on the assassination of JFK, which he developed while watching television in
San Quentin Prison. He noticed in a documentary film that an armed Secret Service agent in the President's car had a
gun pointed at Kennedy. He wants to know "who are the people not giving you information about the attempt to
assassinate the President?"

(UHArlirFer) A requester from Porto Alegra, Brazil asked for "all previously released National Intelligence reports

National Intelligence activities in Brazil in this period."

(U//14ao) EO Mandatory Declassification Review
(UHAIVID) Chicago Requester Interested in 1950 Perversion Probe Documents
(U//AC4 The Executive Order Mandatory Declassification Review team in the Public Information Programs
Division (PIPD) recently processed for declassification eight memoranda from 1950 regarding a US Senate
investigation involving "perversion at the Central Intelligence Agency." The memoranda are from the holdings of
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and were requested for declassification by a researcher
from Chicago. In one memo, dated 11 September 1950, the Chief Counsel of the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee asked the CIA for "the number of employees, or former employees, who are homosexuals or who are
suspected of homosexuality (who were): a) dismissed; b) allowed to resign; (and also) c) pending cases now under
investigation or consideration" from 1947 to 1950. The CIA responded in a memo dated 22 September 1950 that
three employees had been dismissed, 18 had been allowed to resign, and three employees were under investigation at
the time.
� The procedures for EO MDRs are outlined in the new amended EO 12958 in Section 3.5 (Section 3.6 in
original EO), which states "... all information classified under (EO 12958) shall be subject to a review for
declassification ... (ifi the request ... describes the ... material ... with sufficient specificity to enable the
agency to locate it with a reasonable amount of effort, (and) the information is not exempted from search
under ... the National Security Act of 1947, ... and the information has not been reviewed for
declassification within the past two years." If the requester of an EO MDR disagrees with the agency's
declassification decision, he/she may appeal that decision to the Interagency Security Classification
Appeals Panel (ISCAP).
� The vast majority of EO MDRs received at CIA are from requesters asking for declassification of material
held in presidential libraries.
This is a record.
