Documents / FOIA release
This CIA FOIA release, approved in 2022, holds a June 5, 2006 appeal from Larry W. Bryant to the CIA Records-Release Panel, along with the agency's replies. Bryant challenges the CIA's refusal to treat him as a news media requester in two requests: one on John Joseph McCarthy Jr. and PROJECT CHERRY, the other on Philip J. Corso. The CIA's letters report no McCarthy records and no Corso records in its holdings. An enclosed UFO magazine column discusses the FBI's file on Philip J. Klass.

Bryant Reference: F-2006-01045 Dear Mr. Bryant: The office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator has received your 4 May 2006 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for: “a copy of all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to Lt. Col. [Philip James] Corso and his associations, activities, congressional testimony, and motivations.” _ We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding so that we can identify it easily. For your information, the FOIA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for records services. You will note on the enclosed fee schedule that we charge search fees, including computer time where indices are computerized, and copying costs for releasable documents. In accordance with Section (a) of the schedule, search fees are assessable even if no records are found or, if found, we determine that they are not releasable. This means you will be charged even if our search results are negative or if we determine that no information is releasable under the FOIA. The search fees for each item in a request are usually about $150. Your letter states that you are submitting this request as an independent writer and, therefore, request that search and review fees be waived as a “representative of the news media.” Your current request, however, does not appear to satisfy the criteria our published regulations require to receive preferential fee treatment as a representative of the news media. You may find these criteria at 32 C.F.R. § 1900.02 (h)(3). Before we can determine the proper fee category for your request, please provide, pursuant to 32 C.F.R. § 1900.02 (h), additional information on why and how the documents you seek: Approved for Release: 2022/08/29 C01333876 (b)(6
