Mr. Patrick R. Keefe
Contributor, The New Yorker Ma azine
Reference: F-2011-02179
Dear Mr. Keefe:
This is a final response to your 6 September 2011 Freedom of Information Act request,
received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on 7 September 2011, for all
documents related in whole or in part to direct or indirect contacts between the Central
Intelligence Agency and the West German rock and roll band The Scorpions, between 1985
and 1992.
Please note, the mission of the Central Intelligence Agency is primarily concerned with
foreign intelligence. The information you request, insofar as we can discern, has nothing to do
with the primary mission of this Agency, and, therefore, we must decline to process your request.
Sincerely,
Susan Viscuso
Information and Privacy Coordinator
