-Dear Ms. Feinstein:
This is in response to your letter dated 31 July 2002 that was received
in this office on 14 August 2002. You are appealing our 14 June 2002 response
to your 24 October 2001 Freedom of Information Act request for records
pertaining to the "Sapito Massacre."
Specifically, you appealed our determination to deny you access to two
documents in their entirety on the basis of Freedom of Information Act
exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3).
Your appeal has been accepted and arrangements will be made for its
consideration by the appropriate members of the Agency Release Panel. You
will be advised of the determinations made.
In order to afford requesters the most equitable treatment possible, we
have adopted the policy of handling appeals on a first-received, first-out basis.
At the present time, our workload consists of approximately 350 appeals
awaiting completion. In view of this, some delay in our reply must be
expected, but I can assure you that every reasonable effort will be made to
complete a response as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
.h.atriryn I. Dyer
