Mr. Jonathan Adams
Reference: F-2013-00531
Dear Mr. Adams:
This acknowledges receipt of your 15 February 2013 facsimile, received in the office of
the Information and Privacy Coordinator on 15 February 2013, providing the information
requested in our 8 February 2013 letter concerning your 3 January 2013 Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) facsimile request, for records on Joseph Adams. This is also a final response to your
request. 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 would reveal an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation existing up to and
including the date the Agency started its search and did not locate any responsive records.
With respect to any other records, 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). An explanation of exemptions is enclosed. 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.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
