MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
SUBJECT FOIA Case Processing
REFERENCE Office of Security memo dated 20 May 1975,
same subject
1. A few comments on referenced memorandum which I am
returning herewith.
a. I think we are all sympathetic to the problem
faced by Security as regards chasing down references
to determine whether they represent part of a "file."
Unfortunately, this just must be done.
b. As you are aware, our original approach to
documents of other agencies was to "define them out"
in our published regulations. This approach has been
deemed to be unacceptable by the Department of Justice
and our regulations will soon have to be changed in
some manner to cover handling of other agency documents.
Some study is going on at the moment on this particular
subject.
c. Regardless of how the details of our procedures
may finally work out, I believe we will have to search
for the actual documents of other agencies in order to
either expedite a referral of them to the other agency
for a decision or, as may well be the case for unclas-
sified material, making a release/denial decision in
CIA. I just don't see how the limited information
available on computer printouts would be sufficient for
either of these tasks.
2. Hopefully, we will have some guidance on this sub-
ject within a week or 10 days. 25X1A
