Dear Mr. Koch:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), I hereby request the following:
All Intelligence Estimates from 1990-1996 related in whole or in part to Liberia.
If you regard any of these documents as potentially exempt from the FOIA's disclosure requirements, I request
that you nonetheless exercise your discretion to disclose them. As the FOIA requires, please release all
reasonably segregable ri.on exempt portions of documents. To permit me to reach an intelligent and informed
decision whether or not to file an administrative appeal of any denied material, please describe any withheld
records (or portions thereof) and explain the basis for your exemption claims.
As a representative of the news media, the National Security Archive qualifies for "representative of the news
media" status under 5 t:.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(A)(ii)(II) and, therefore, may not be charged search and review
fees. (See National Security Archive v. U. S. Deportment of Defense, 880 F.2d 1381 (D.C. Cir. 1989), cert
denied, 110 S Ct. 1478 (1990)). This request is made as part of a scholarly and news research project that is
intended for publication and is not for commercial use. For details on the Archive's research and extensive
publication activities please see our website at www.nsarchive.org.
To expedite the release of the requested documents, please disclose them on an interim basis as they become
available to you, without waiting until all the documents have been processed. Please notify me of any
photocopy fees exceeding $100. If you have any questions regarding the identity of the records, their location,
the scope of the request or any other matters, please call me at [phone] or email me at
[e-mail]. I look forward to receiving your response within the twenty day statutory time period.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas Blanton
