Mr. Toby Nelson
Reference: F-2013-00576
Dear Mr. Nelson:
This is a final response to your 6 January 2013 [sic] Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on
15 January 2013, for any intelligence assessments, intelligence memorandums, or similar
reports in which a governmental organization of the former Czechoslovak Socialist
Republic named "the Institute for Economic Forecasting" (AKA "IEP") is referenced by
name in the title or subject line. We have assigned your request the reference number
above. Please use this number when corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
In accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, the CIA can neither
confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to your request.
The fact of the existence or nonexistence of requested records is currently and properly
classified and is intelligence sources and methods information that is protected from
disclosure by section 6 of the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, and section 102A(i)(1) of the
National Security Act of 1947, as amended. Therefore, your request is denied pursuant to
FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3). I have enclosed an explanation of these exemptions
for your reference and retention. As the CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator, I am
the CIA official responsible for this determination. You have the right to appeal this
response to the Agency Release Panel, in my care, within 45 days from the date of this
letter. Please include the basis of your appeal.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
