v concern current events;
'
0 interest the general public;
0 enhance the public understanding of the operations or
activities of the U.S. Government; and
0 how you plan to disseminate the information to a significant
element of the public at minimal cost.
Please specifically address each of these points. Your thorough response will
help ensure that we place your request in the most appropriate and favorable
fee category possible.
Without the data requested above, your fee categorization will be that of
“all other,” which means that you will be required to pay charges which
recover the cost of searching for and reproducing responsive records (if any)
beyond the first 100 pages of reproduction and the first two hours of search
time, which will be furnished without charge. We will assess copying costs at
the rate of ten cents per page.
For your information, we have conducted a previous search for records
on Colonel Corso and no responsive documents were located in CIA holdings.
However, it is our understanding that there are Office of Strategic Services
(OSS) records on Philip J. Corso held at the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) under Job No. 57-102, Boxes 73 and 74. Also, please
be aware that the CIA is not authorized to release records originated by other
Govemment agencies even if we were to locate any. Therefore, we would not
be authorized to release any “CIA-received records,” should any such records
be located. We can conduct a new search on your behalf, when we receive the
information requested above.
Meanwhile, we will hold your request in abeyance for 45 days from the
date of this letter, pending your clarification of the points above. If we do not
hear from you within that time, we will assume that you are no longer
interested in receiving the information you seek and we will close the case.
Sincerely,
Scott Koch
Information and Privacy Coordinator
