Dear Mr. Meadors,

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, as stated below. Your request was received in this office and assigned FOIA case number 12-F-0818.

Please note that this office only processes FOIA requests for the Office of Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff (OSD/JS). There is no central FOIA processing point for the entire Federal Government or for the Department of Defense (DoD). Within DoD, each component/service is responsible for the processing of their own FOIA requests.

I am not aware of a connection between the attached document and the audio tapes and the OSD/JS. Those records would be under the cognizance of the NSA or the U.S. Navy, each of which operates its own FOIA office. You may submit your request directly from those offices. Contact information for the NSA FOIA office is located at http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/foia/index.shtml and contact information for the U.S. Navy FOIA office is located at https://foia.navy.mil/foia/webbas02.nsf/(vwwebpage)/home.htm?opendocument.

This action closes your request in this office.

Thank you,

Susan Aldorfer
Senior Advisor
