Dear Mr. Newman:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) via the
*FOIAOnline* website.
We received your request on July 29, 2020. Your request concerns
classified records in RG 111, Entry A1 1100.

Our office uses the *FOIAonline* portal for FOIA and Privacy Act requests
for the National Archives and Records Administration's operational records
(records created by this agency). Because your request is for classified
archival records, we are referring your request to the National
Declassification Center (NDC) here at our College Park, MD facility. Since
the NDC does not process FOIA requests through FOIAonline, we removed your
request from the *FOIAOnline* website. The NDC staff will assign you a new
tracking number, and respond directly to you. In the future, if you need to
follow up with that office directly, please contact them at the address
below, or electronically via email.
