NOV 0 5 2007
On 18 October 2007, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator
received your 30 August 2007 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:
1. "The `Family Jewels' report, and
2. The recently released 19 page summary of pre-9/11
intelligence."
We assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when
corresponding with us so that we can identify it easily.
In regard to your request identified above as #1, please be advised that on 26 June
2007, the collection widely known as the "Family Jewels" was made available to the
public in the CIA's FOIA Electronic Reading Room. We recommend that you visit our
Internet site, www.foia.cia.gov, which offers instant access to, as well as printing of, the
documents of your choice free of charge.
In regard to your request identified above as #2, please be advised that we received
a previous FOIA request for the same report that you seek. We will send you the same
CIA-originated record, if it is released, once that request has been completed.
We have reviewed your request for a fee waiver and determined that, as a matter of
administrative discretion, it would serve the interests of the Government to grant your
request.
 Despite our best efforts, the large number of FOIA requests CIA receives has
created unavoidable processing delays making it unlikely that we can respond within the
20 working days the FOIA requires. You have the right to consider our honest appraisal as
a denial of your request and you may appeal to the Agency Release Panel. A more
practical approach would permit us. to continue processing your request and respond to.you
as soon as we can. You will retain your appeal rights and, once you receive the results of
our search, can appeal at that time if you wish. We will proceed on that basis unless you
object.
We will contact you again when we have completed processing the original request
mentioned above. Meanwhile, we appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
Scott Koch
Information and Privacy Coordinator
