Dear R.M. Seibert:

Thank you for submitting your Freedom of Information Act request to the
National Archives and Records Administration, via the *FOIAOnline* website.
We received your request on October 9, 2018.

This office handles 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 archival records
(records that were created by or originated in a different agency but that have
been transferred to the legal custody of NARA), we have forwarded it
to our *Office
of Research Services, Special Access and FOIA* staff who handle FOIA
requests for archival records.

Since the *Office of Research Services, Special Access and FOIA* does not
process FOIA requests through *FOIAOnline*, your request has been removed
from the *FOIAOnline* website and you will be assigned a new tracking
number by that office within the next 20 business days. If you would like
to follow up with that office directly, please contact them at the address
below, or electronically via email.

Ms. Seibert--

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act request of
October 9, 2018, for records in the custody of the National Archives and
Records Administration. Your request for Department of Justice. Office of
the Deputy Attorney General. Subject Files of the Deputy Attorney General
[Subject Files of Benjamin R. Civiletti], Box 51, Folder Scientology
(Church of) was received in this office on October 11, 2018, and assigned
FOIA case number *RD 59006*.

You had previously requested this folder under FOIA case number RD 45010,
but had narrowed the scope of the prior request not to include this folder.

I have completed a line-by-line review of Folder Scientology (Church of)
and released 9 of 9 pages in full.

Because of the small number of pages, I have attached a courtesy copy in
.pdf format below.

This concludes the processing of your request. If you have additional
questions concerning my review of this file, please contact me directly at
Amanda.Weimer@nara.gov or at (301) 837-0604.

If you are not satisfied with our action on this request, you have the
right to file an administrative appeal within ninety (90) calendar days
from the date of this letter. Appeals must be in writing and may be
delivered by regular U.S. mail or by e-mail. By filing an appeal, you
preserve your rights under the Freedom of Information Act and present the
deciding agency with an opportunity to review your request and reconsider
its decision. If you submit your appeal by regular mail, it should be
addressed to the Deputy Archivist of the United States (ND), National
Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, Room 4200, College
Park, Maryland 20740-6001. Both the letter and envelope should be clearly
marked “FOIA Appeal.” If you submit your appeal by e-mail, please send it
to foia@nara.gov, addressed to the Deputy Archivist, with the words “FOIA
Appeal” in the subject line. Please be certain to explain why you believe
this response does not meet the requirements of the Freedom of Information
Act. All communications concerning this request should reference FOIA case
number RD 59006.

If you would like the opportunity to discuss our response and attempt to
resolve your dispute without initiating the appeals process, you may
contact our FOIA Public Liaison for assistance:
