This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Documents describing, mentioning, defining, creating or terminating the "Jade Channel" or its use.

Please see attached for fee information and search parameters (in addition to the lead already provided).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

I am appealing the integrity of the search, as a simple search of the index is not fully and reasonably calculated to locate appropriate responsive documents. Not only does the Bureau appear to have ignored the lead provided, but merely performing an index search would seem to ignore the Bureau's own resources for identifying different internal channels. If the FOIA office's search was fully and reasonably calculated, then the Bureau is asserting that it's impossible for it to identify it's own national security channels, which would be tantamount to pleading incompetence at the most critical levels.
