Dear Mr. Von Struckmann:

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 November 18, 2021. Your request
concerns a record described as "CIOS, Secret Evaluation Report 106, June
15th 1945, Document No. 604."

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 *FOIAOnline *request is for
records that may be textual archival records (records created by or
originated in a different agency but that may have been transferred to the
legal custody of NARA), we have forwarded it to our *Office of Research
Services, Textual Reference (RR2RR)* staff who handle FOIA requests for
archival records.

Since *Research Services* does not process FOIA requests through
*FOIAOnline*, we removed your request from the *FOIAOnline* website.
Textual Reference will assign you a new tracking number, and respond
directly to you. In the future, if you need to follow up with that office,
please contact them at the address below, or electronically via email
(email is preferred).

This is in reply to your November 21, 2021, Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request concerning your interest in locating "CIOS, Secret
Evaluation Report 106, June 15th 1945, Document No. 604."

Your FOIA request was received by my office on November 29, 2021 and
assigned internal tracking number *22-08734*.

After having searched several different series of records in a number of
different record groups, specifically the Records of the War Department
General and Special Staffs (Record Group 165), Records of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff (Record Group 218), Records of the Army Staff (Record Group 319),
and the Records of the European Theater of Operations, U.S. Army (Record
Group 498), we were able to find a copy of "CIOS, Secret Evaluation Report
106, June 15th 1945.” This 12-page document, which was found among the
Records of the War Department General and Special Staffs (Record Group
165), Publication Files (Entry NM84 79), does not, however, feature a
document number 604. A scanned image of the document is attached. There is
no charge for these scanned images. We were unable to locate any additional
copies of the aforementioned report among the records in our custody.

We do not consider this a denial of your FOIA request. However, if you are
not satisfied with our action on this request, your options for appeal and
dispute resolution are outlined in the attachment.

Dear Mr. Von Struckmann:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) via email to
foia@nara.gov We received your request on *January 26, 2022*. Your
request concerns a follow-up request to your original FOIA request. You are
now asking for a copy of the sub report for Document 604 and 605.

Our office handles FOIA and Privacy Act requests for NARA’s operational records
(records created by this agency). Because your FOIA request is for
records that may be archival records (records created by or originated in a
different agency but that may have been transferred to the legal custody of
NARA), we are forwarding it by this email to our Office of Research
Services, Textual Reference (RR2RR) staff who handle FOIA requests for
textual archival records.

That office will assign your request a 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
(email is preferred).

experience a delay in receiving a substantive response to your FOIA
request. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your
understanding and patience.

Struckmann
Dear Mr. Von Struckmann:

This is in reply to your November 21, 2021, Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request concerning your interest in locating "CIOS, Secret
Evaluation Report 106, June 15th 1945, Document No. 604."

Your FOIA request was received by my office on November 29, 2021 and
assigned internal tracking number *22-08734*.

After having searched several different series of records in a number of
different record groups, specifically the Records of the War Department
General and Special Staffs (Record Group 165), Records of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff (Record Group 218), Records of the Army Staff (Record Group 319),
and the Records of the European Theater of Operations, U.S. Army (Record
Group 498), we were able to find a copy of "CIOS, Secret Evaluation Report
106, June 15th 1945.” This 12-page document, which was found among the
Records of the War Department General and Special Staffs (Record Group
165), Publication Files (Entry NM84 79), does not, however, feature a
document number 604. A scanned image of the document is attached. There is
no charge for these scanned images. We were unable to locate any additional
copies of the aforementioned report among the records in our custody.

We do not consider this a denial of your FOIA request. However, if you are
not satisfied with our action on this request, your options for appeal and
dispute resolution are outlined in the attachment.

Sincerely,

PAUL B. BROWN

Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RR2RR)
