Dear Mr. Rozenbaum:
This is a final response to your 30 May 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request, received on 30 May 2007, for "information of records on Jozef (Josef) SWIATLO,
lieutenant colonel of the Polish security service, who defected to the United States in
December 1953." We have assigned your request the reference number above.
In accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 12958, as amended, 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 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. Therefore, the Agency has
denied your request pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). I have enclosed an
explanation of these exemptions for your reference and retention.
CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator Scott Koch made this decision, which
you may appeal to the Agency Release Panel, in my care, within 45 days from the date of
this letter. You may include any additional information supporting your position or an
explanation why you think our initial decision is wrong.
