Re: Request under the FOJA, in reply refer to Archive #FOIA Sequence Number 20071528CIA204.
Dear Mr. Koch:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), I hereby request disclosure of the following
documents for inspection and possible copying:
All reports, analyses and briefings prepared on the subject of the security impacts of global
climate change by the CIA Environmental Center. The time frame covers the period from
the Center's creation in 1997 to the end of the Clinton Administration (January 2001). The
Center's first head was Terry Flannery. The work of the Center was discussed in a recent
Baltimore Sun article by Siobhan Gorman titled "Environment Change: A Security Issue?"
which appeared in the June 24, 2007 issue of the newspaper.
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 nonexempt 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 you know, the National Security Archive qualifies for waiver of search and review. fees as a
representative of the news media. This request is made as part.of a scholarly and news research project
and not for commercial use. For details on the Archive's research and publication activities, please see

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. 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]. I look forward to receiving your response within the twenty-
day statutory time period.
Sincerely Yours,
