Mr. Andrew Nelson Carver Klein
Reference: F-2013-00614
Dear Mr. Klein:
This is a final response to your 11 January 2013 Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on
23 January 2013, for records on Charles Habib Malik.
The CIA, whose primary mission is the collection and analysis of foreign
intelligence, has a vast amount of records in a variety of offices and files that are indexed
and therefore retrievable under the name of a specific country or region of the world or
under a broad subject of public interest. An overly broad search would locate a vast
quantity of records, much of which would be extraneous, mentioning the subject of the
request only in passing, thus being of little or no value to you. Further, the review of such
records would impose an excessive and unreasonable burden on the Agency. Therefore,
we must decline to process such requests.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
