Central IntelI nce Agcncy
The Honorable Lee H. Hamilton
Chairman
Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
1985
The enclosed report is submitted in compliance with the
reporting requirements of the CIA Information Act of 1984.
This report--due 15 October 1985--covers the six-month period
from 15 March 1985 to 14 September 1985.
The period was highlighted by a significant reduction in
the backlog, a marked improvement in the response time (when
discounting old cases), and initiatives to improve the number
and quality of personnel, the work environment, the
organizational structure, and the processing system.
We are extremely pleased with the significant progress made
during the reporting period, especially with the unprecedented
reduction in our backlog of cases. In fact, as of this date
our total backlog has fallen even further and now stands at
1,967 cases. The prospects for continued and even greater
progress excites us all, especially our personnel responsible
for processing FOIA cases.
Sincerely,
/S/ Harry E. Fitzwater
Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director
for
Administration
