AUG 0 1 2007 Ms. Barbara Elias The National Security Archive Gelman Library, Suite 701 2130 H Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20037 Reference F-2007-01728 /Archive #20071430CIA184 Dear Ms. Elias: This is the final response to your 23 July 2007 Freedom of Information Act. (FOIA) request, received on 23 July 2007, for "all documents from September 1, 2001 to the present related in whole or in part the "disappeared" in Pakistan." Your request, because of its lack of specificity, cannot be processed. The FOIA provides for public access. to "reasonably described" records. This means that requesters must describe records sufficiently to enable a professional employee familiar with the subject to locate the records without an unreasonable amount of effort. Commonly, this equates to a requirement that we must locate the documents through the indexing to our various records. In sum, the FOIA does not require federal agencies to perform research, answer questions, or conduct unreasonable searches through a body of material to see if any of it is related to a particular request.
