Dear Mr. Zaid:
This is a final response to your 10 July 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request for copies of all internal Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents
pertaining to discussions concerning the proposed enactment of an anti-leak
provision in the 2001 Intelligence Authorization Act and any subsequent related
discussions on the topic. The provision [is] known informally as the Official Secrets
Act.
We processed your request in accordance with the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. ? 552, as
amended, and the CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C. ? 431, as amended. Our processing
included a search for records as described in our acceptance letter existing through the date
of that letter, 17 July 2007.
We did not locate any records responsive to your request.
Although our searches were thorough and diligent, and it is highly unlikely that
repeating those searches would change the result, you nevertheless have the legal right to
appeal the finding of no records responsive to your request. Should you choose to do so,
you may address your appeal to the Agency Release Panel within 45 days from the date of
this letter, in my care. Please explain the basis of your appeal.
We appreciate your patience while we were processing this request.
Sincerely,
Scott Koch
Information and Privacy Coordinator
