Reference: F-2013-01911
Dear Ms. Higgins-Mora:
This responds to your 16 July 2013 letter appealing our 1 July 2013 final response
to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for information regarding Lyndon Roosevelt
Gardiner.
The Agency Release Panel (ARP) considered your appeal and determined that, 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 relates to 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, in accordance with Agency
regulations set forth in part 1900 of title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the ARP
denied your appeal on the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). In accordance
with the provisions of the FOIA, you have the right to seek judicial review of this
determination in a United States district court.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Executive Secretary
