In accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, the CIA can neither confirm

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
