United States Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20520

AY.4 2005
Case No. 200303827
Segment L17

Ms. Amrit Singh
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation

125 Broad Street, 18th Floor
New York, New York 1004-2400

Dear Ms. Singh:

I refer to our letter December 20, 2004, regarding the
release of certain Department of State material under the
Freedom of Information Act (Title 5 USC Section 552).

As you may recall, in the case of Segment L17, further
coordination was required before a decision could be made as
to the release of two of the documents previously retrieved

in response to your request. The coordination has now been
completed for both of them and we find that both may not be

released.

Material in one of the documents withheld in full is
currently and properly classified under Executive Order

12958 in the interest of national defense or foreign

relations. As such, it is exempt from release under •

subsection (b) (1) of the Freedom of Information Act.

Material in both of the documents withheld in full is exempt
from release under subsection (b)(5) of the Freedom of
Information Act because it is protected by the deliberative
process privilege, attorney client privilege, attorney work­product privilege and/or another privilege incorporated by
subsection (b)(5).

Material in one of the documents withheld in full is of such
a nature that its release would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As such, it is
exempt from release under subsection (b)(6) of the Freedom
of Information Act.

In some cases, two or more exemptions apply to the same
document.
