Subject: FOI Request
Importance: High
## Section 40
Please see attached a new Freedom of Information request from Dr David Clarke which I received this morning. As we predicted he is now interested in documents about the UAP database set up by DIST. As all of the documents listed in this request are DIS generated / held, I would be grateful if you would see if DIS still hold these documents and if so, can they be released?. For the sake of consistency and to make sure I keep an eye on what is being released on this subject, if you do hold this information please could I ask that it is released (or refused) through this office rather than direct to Dr Clarke.
While I was on leave, Dr Clarke also sent me another letter concerning information already sent to him (copy attached). Some of this covers information now requested in the above FOI request. However, as you will see from paragraph 4 he is also asking us to reconsider our decision to remove original security classifications and paragraph 3 from the DIST letter dated 4 December 2000. I propose we say that paragraph 3 is about an unrelated DIS issue and not relevant to his request, we will not therefore be releasing it. You may however, wish to consider the sensitivities of that paragraph and what FOI exemption might be used to withhold it, in case he challenges this. I would be grateful for any comments you may have about this. With regard to the original security classifications, these were removed, as they are no longer relevant because the documents have been downgraded. Please let me know if you see any difficulty with informing Dr Clarke what the original security classifications were.
In paragraphs 8 and 9 of Dr Clarke's letter he has also clarified what information he wishes to request from the DI55 Policy File, D/DI55/108/15 Part 4. You will recall that he originally asked for a copy of the whole file. Please could you also let me have your response to this request.
The 20 day response time under the FOIA will expire on 24 October 2005. Dr Clarke has asked for an estimate of the length of time it is likely to take to respond to his requests. I would be grateful if you could let me know when you think we should be able to send a reply, particularly if we are likely to exceed the 20 day limit.
Any questions please give me a call on Section 40
Regards
