Documents / FOIA release
This document package is a March 19, 2002 White House memorandum from Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card, Jr., released by the Central Intelligence Agency. It tells agencies to protect records on weapons of mass destruction and other sensitive homeland security information. Attached is guidance from the Information Security Oversight Office and the Justice Department on classifying such records and handling them under FOIA. The package also contains the CIA response from Chief Information Officer Alan C. Wade, which describes enhancements to its review and release procedures.

If agency officials need assistance in determining the classification status of records related to the development or use of weapons of mass destruction, they should contact the Information Security Oversight Office, at 202-219-5250. For assistance in determining the classification of nuclear and radiological weapons classified under the Atomic Energy Act, they should contact the Department of Energy's Office of Security, at 202-586-3345. If they need assistance in applying exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to sensitive but unclassified information, they should contact the Justice Department's Office of Information and Privacy (OIP), at 202-514-3642, or consult OIP's FOIA Web site at www.usdoj.gov/04foia/index/html.
