From: Paul Galante
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Records relating to the 1993 investigation of a fatal shooting incident outside CIA headquarters, titled LANGMUR and Mir Qazi (aka Mir Aimal Kansi, Mir Aimal Kasi) (February 10, 1964 - November 14, 2002), the shooter. Proof of death is not required as his execution was widely reported: (https://web.archive.org/web/20100323145212/http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/11/14/cia.killings.execution/). Per FBI standards and regulations, this is acceptable proof of death.
Please conduct a search of the Central Records System, including but not limited to the Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices, the Microphone Surveillance (MISUR) Indices, the Physical Surveillance (FISUR) Indices, and the Technical Surveillance (TESUR) Indices, for both main-file records and cross-reference records for all relevant names, individuals, agencies and companies. If any potentially responsive records have been destroyed and/or transferred to NARA, then I request copies of the destruction or transfer slips as well as any other documentation relating to, mentioning or describing said transfer or destruction, to include but not be limited to confirmation that the Bureau has no other copies of said records. If previously released records are available, then I request a rolling release consisting of those records while additional records are located and processed for release.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Paul Galante

To Whom It May Concern:
This is an appeal of FOIA request 1399175-000. I am appealing the integrity of the search performed. Considering the length of time involved in the manhunt of Qazi and the efforts to extradite him from Pakistan, the selection of pre-processed records provided are certainly not all the records that can be reviewed and released. This is not even taking into consideration the involvement of other agencies in the effort to bring Qazi to justice and the referrable records likely in the Bureau's possession. Please conduct a new search for investigatory and non-investigatory records, including but not limited to cross-reference records. I appreciate your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Good Morning Mr. Galante,
We're contacting you about the FOIA request you made for records concerning Mir Qazi. By letter dated August 27, 2019, you were informed that the estimated total cost for processing your request was approximately $745.00 for CD releases. By email dated October 4, 2019, you indicated your willingness to pay $30.00 in FOIA processing fees. In the meantime the FBI located approximately 33,072 pages potentially responsive to your request and the current estimated total cost for processing your request is approximately $985.00 for CD releases. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system, and the FBI receives a voluminous amount of requests on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. Requests are divided into two primary tracks--simple (under 50 pages of potentially responsive documents) and complex (over 50 pages of potentially responsive documents). Complex requests are further divided into medium (51-950 pages), large (951-8000 pages), and extra-large (over 8000 pages) sub-tracks based upon request size.
Simple track requests typically require the least amount of time to process. The more potentially responsive pages a request has, the more complex it becomes, greatly increasing the time required for processing. Generally, the larger the file, the longer it takes to process. A review of your request determined that it is currently in the complex x-large request processing track. Given our current workload and staffing levels, it may yet be a long time before you begin to receive material from this request.
Reducing the scope of your request may accelerate the processing and allow for a more timely receipt of the information you seek, as it could potentially place your request into a smaller, faster processing track. Would you be willing to consider reducing the scope of your request? The current average time to complete an x-large track request is at least 70 months.
RIDS resumed full staffing on June 8, 2020. Commensurate with the return of full staffing levels, RIDS will being increasing its FOIA processing production. While RIDS will make its best efforts to meet increased production goals, this increased production rate may be negatively impacted by COVID-19 workplace disruptions.
Below is a list of all tracks and the average time approximately to complete each. Hopefully this breakdown will be helpful to you in reducing the scope of this request.
Simple track request (0- 50 pages) current average time is approximately 4 months to complete.
Medium track request (51-950 pages) current average time is approximately 27 months to complete.
Large track request (951-8000 pages) current average time is approximately 57 months to complete.
X-Large track request (over 8000 pages) current average time is approximately 70 months to complete.
Please let us know if you would like to potentially reduce the scope of your request. If you reduce the size, you can request the additional records with a new FOIA request upon completion of this one.
We can be reached via email at fbi.foipa.negotiation@fbi.gov<mailto:fbi.foipa.negotiation@fbi.gov>. We appreciate your patience and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Negotiation Team
