Mr. Walter Orlowski
Reference: F-2007-00392
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
We received your 7 January 2007 letter appealing our 6 December 2006 response your
request for records about the interrogation and deposition of Joseph Swiatlo, a member of the
Polish Secret Police who defected in 1953, transcripts of his debriefing, and any documents
relating to the activities and crimes of the NKD in post-WWII Poland and their control over the
Polish Communist government.
Specifically, you appealed our determination that we can neither confirm nor deny the
existence or nonexistence of records responsive to your request 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 handle appeals on a
first-received, first-out basis. At the present time, our workload consists of approximately 200
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,
cott Koch
Information and Privacy Coordinator
