# OGC Has Reviewed ODP 8-1636b 26 September 1978 STATINTL MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Appeals Coordinator, IPS STATINTL FROM ODP FIO Officer SUBJECT : FOIA Litigation - Ground Saucer Watch, Inc. v. CIA REFERENCE CA No. 78-859 1. The Office of Data Processing (ODP) has conducted a reasonable search of its files responsive to the stipulation connected to the subject litigation. No material pertinent to this litigation was found. 2. In addition, no one currently working in ODP can recall that this Office has ever been requested or has knowingly provided computer support to any UFO-related project. However, this does not mean that ODP's computers have not been used in this regard by a CIA employee or contractor who has direct access to ODP computers through our Interactive terminal system. We have no way of monitoring the content of computer files developed independently by ODP computer users in support of their missions. Indeed, ODP policy prohibits this type of monitoring in order to protect need-to-know compartmentation of computer files.
