Mr. Harry G. Smith
Reference: F96-1519
Dear Mr. Smith:
This is a final response to
that portion of your 10 June 1996 Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request for information pertaining to Black Eye and
Group Hand. Your request was processed in accordance with the
FOIA, 5 U.S.C. S 552, as amended, and the CIA Information Act,
50 U.S.C. S 431. Our processing included a search for records
in existence as of and through the date of our acceptance
letter dated 9 September 1996.
No records responsive to your
request were located.
Although our searches were
thorough and diligent, and it is highly unlikely that
repeating those searches would change the result, you
nevertheless have the legal right to appeal the finding of no
records responsive to your request. Should you choose to do
so, you may address your appeal to the CIA Information Review
Committee, in my care, and you should explain the basis of
your appeal.
The search fees for your
request amount to $22.00 (two on-line computer searches at
$11.00 each). You are entitled to the first two hours search
time (equivalent to $36.00) as a requester in the "all other"
fee category. Therefore, there are no charges for this
particular request.
We appreciate your patience
and understanding during the period required to process this
request.
Sincerely,
|
