Dear Mr. Young:
References:
a. Your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of March 29,2001,
concerning various dossiers.
for records
b. Our letter of April 20, 2001, informing you that additional time was needed to review the
records and we were unable to comply to the 20-day statutory time limit in processing your
request.
We have conducted checks of the automated Defense Clearance and Investigations Index and
a search of the Investigative Records Repository to determine the existence of Army intelligence
investigative records responsive to your request.
We have located the enclosed records pertaining to Czechoslovakia Intelligence Services,
ZF010809W. We have completed a mandatory declassification review in accordance with
Executive Order (EO) 12958. As a result of our review, information has been sanitized as the
information is currently and properly classified CONFIDENTIAL according to Sections
1.3(a)(3) and 3.4(b)(1) of EO 12958. This information is exempt from the public disclosure
provisions of the FOIA pursuant to Title 5 U.S. Code 552 (b)(1). The records are enclosed for
your use. Fees for processing this request are waived. A brief explanation of the applicable
sections follows:
Section 1.3(a)(3) of EO 12958 provides that information shall be classified CONFIDENTIAL
if its unauthorized disclosure reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national
security.
-2-
Section 3.4(b)(1) of EO 12958 provides that classified information more that 25 years old is
exempt from automatic declassification if it would reveal the identity of a confidential human
source, or reveal information about the application of an intelligence source or method, or
reveal the identity of a human intelligence source when the unauthorized disclosure of that
source would clearly and demonstrably damage the national security interests of the United
States.
The withholding of information by this office is a partial denial of your request. This denial is
made on behalf of Brigadier General Keith B. Alexander, the Commanding General, U.S. Army
Intelligence and Security Command, who is the Initial Denial Authority for Army intelligence
investigative and security records under the FOIA. You may appeal this decision to the
Secretary of the Army. If you wish to file an appeal, you should forward it to this office. Your
appeal must be postmarked no later than 60 calendar days from the date of this letter. After the
60 day period, the case may be considered closed; however, such closure does not preclude you
filing litigation in the courts.
We are continuing to review records regarding other titles you have requested and will
respond to you by separate correspondence when our review is complete.
If you have any questions concerning this action, feel free to contact Mrs. Reilly at (301) 6774742. Please refer to case #791F-01.
Sincerely,
()l{ilL/LLd/U)~
