As you will recall. in our 16 September 2014 letter, we informed you that we had already begun processing a request for this information in connection with an earlier FOIA request received prior to yours. We cross­ referenced your request to the earlier one in order to send you any records that were found to be releasable. As a result of our searches undertaken in connection with the earlier request, we located three documents, consisting of 83 pages, that we determined were releasable in segregable form with deletions made on the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(l), (b)(3), and (b)(6). Copies of the documents and an explanation of exemptions are enclosed. Exemption (b )(3) pertains to information exempt from disclosure by statute. The relevant statutes are Section 6 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended, and Section 102A(i)(l) of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. 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. We responded regarding Item 2 of your request on 16 September 201 4.

April2012 C05615999 Approved for Release: 2015/10/05 C05615999 Information and Privacy Coordinator Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C. 20505 Dear Coordinator: Under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. subsection 552, I am requesting Electronic copies of 133 Studies in Intelligence (Sii) articles listed in the accompanying pages. Background - The 133 articles have either been released in sanitized versions or are somewhere in the redaction and release process. In the past three years the Agency made PDF copies of all Sii articles ever written. These are excellent quality copies and in electric PDF form can be searched. I would .like to get the requested articles from the newly .scanned files in electronic form. The accompanying pages list 133 articles; their name, year, volume, issue along with CADRE case and document number where available. The newly scanned versions of these documents are stored in HR/Center for the Study of Intelligence and in IMS/Historic Collection Division servers. As I am familiar with these documents I am more thah willing to help in locating requested documents. If there are any fees for searching for, reviewing, orcopying the records, please notify me before processing if the amount exceeds $200:00. Per32 CFR Parts 1900, 1901, 1907, 1908, and 1909 the cost for a CD is $20.. One DVD's should be enough to store all 133 documents and I assume the costfor a CD or DVD is the same. If you deny all or any part of this request, please cite each specific exemption you think justifies your refusal to release the information and notify me of appeal procedures available under the law.
