The response came back that it’s “classified” information, and that he maintained “an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation”. A basic glossary is here to help people understand the FIOA. AFFILIATION – A MEMBER OF DENY – REJECT OR TURN DOWN THE REQUEST CLASSIFIED – SECRET OR HIDDEN – SEE (b)(1). RESPONSIVE – Letters that are NOT classified that the CIA MAY send. Such responsive letters are marked with the CIA’s stamp and release date when they’re allowed to be sent out as “responsive” to the FOIA act requests. APPEAL – this means to appeal their decision to deny my request and not provide the documents they don’t consider “responsive”. A DENIAL of FOIA RESPONSIVE documents does not mean that they didn’t find anything. It means they found Related: Holotropic Breathwork | Peyote Stitch | 3 of 30 1/6/13 9:16 AM URGENT RELEASE: The CIA's Terence McKenna FOIA reque... http://www.gnosticmedia.com/urgent-release-the-cias-terence-... request and said that I could APPEAL their decision within 45 days. If there was nothing found, there would be no “openly acknowledged Agency affiliation” to reveal, nor would there be a request to deny, much less any need to appeal such! Just some common sense needed here, folks! Basic understanding of the English language is key to understanding this document. I have been shocked by most people’s complete lack of ability to understand the basic English terms in this document. Hopefully the above glossary helps you and I won’t have to address this nonsense again. READ and COMPREHEND WHAT you’re reading.

Ryan Caron on November 15, 2012 at 5:20 pm I’m confused. Doesn’t it say “Our processing included a search for records that would reveal an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation existing up to and including the date the Agency started its search and did not locate any responsive records.” Or have I been awake too long? Log in to Reply Jan Irvin on November 15, 2012 at 7:14 pm The key words for you guys to attempt to understand here are: AFFILIATION – A MEMBER OF DENY – REJECT OR TURN DOWN THE REQUEST CLASSIFIED – SECRET OR HIDDEN – SEE (b)(1). RESPONSIVE – Letters that are NOT classified that they MAY send me. Such resonsive letters are marked with the CIA’s stamp and release date when their allowed to be sent out as responsive. APPEAL – this means to appeal their decision to deny my request and not provide the documents they don’t consider “responsive”. Ignore Joseph Pierce, the guy’s too god damned stupid to read English. I delete his vacuous and thoughtless comments as he’s never able to comprehend English. Log in to Reply Harvard professor of spanglish on November 16, 2012 at 11:36 pm your definition of responsive is wrong. It should be: Responsive records are all records that fit within the scope of the applicant’s access request — these are the records the applicant has described on the Access to Information Request Form. Log in to Reply Jan Irvin on November 16, 2012 at 11:49 pm Thanks. In this case, all records that I requested were classified.

You don’t need to appeal to the false authority of a lawyer. Where did the lawyer get it from…? You can learn too. Barry windham prof of Chinese spanish on November 17, 2012 at 1:52 am And I’m not really a professor just a lame noob on the Internet Jan Irvin on November 17, 2012 at 11:04 am No shit? boss baxter on November 21, 2012 at 10:39 pm Last week I received a email from private researchers with the statements ” i’m uneducated, I have no credentials to speak of. all I can do is read.” This is from a Bank of Canada researcher that has scanned numerous 1939 Standing Committee on Banking and Commerce. Jan you are right critical thinking matched with effort on a specific subject can product better results than a compartmentalized mind. Just make sure to start with lots of GRAMMAR first (my opinion) derek _ on November 23, 2012 at 9:41 am You may be missing the point. Response is defined as an answer. A computer query would produce an answer whether positive or negative. This is a basic operation of boolean logic. This is all fine and great and understood by all of the commentators on this forum, but if you read the rest of the document it states that they may deny existence of such records as noted by section 6 of this document.. http://www.archives.gov/isoo/pdf/cnsi-eo.pdf , and section 102A(i)1 of this document… http://intelligence.senate.gov/nsaact1947.pdf . They both clearly state that if a document is classified, it’s existence can be denied by the Director of National Intelligence pertaining to interests of the security of the foreign intelligence activities of the United States. Before you throw stones at the messenger, do your research… please?! Log in to Reply derek _ on November 23, 2012 at 9:45 am Sorry the cnsi-eo.pdf is the executive order. Section 6 that was referred to in the letter is from this link .. http://www.house.gov/legcoun/Comps/CIA49.pdf 2. Mr. E on November 15, 2012 at 5:31 pm How did you interpret “did not locate” any ‘agency affiliation records’ as “an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation”? Log in to Reply Jan Irvin on November 15, 2012 at 7:15 pm Mr. E, try not to misrepresent the quote. You get morons like Joseph Pierce all excited… Here’s what it actually says, not your straw man quote that omits key words to make you look smart: Our processing included a search for records that would reveal an openly acknowledged Agency affiliation existing up to and including the date the Agency started and did not locate any RESPONSIVE records [records they'll send me in a reply].
