Ms. Berg,

This is in response to your inquiry below, which was misdirected to this office. No case file or request was found in the OSD/JS and MDA FOIA offices under the number provided below. Further, an internet search on this case number resulted in a CIA letterhead response to you citing that case number. Please also note that letter was found on the Muckrock website. Therefore, please direct your inquiry to the CIA FOIA office regarding this request.

Hello Mr. Graves,

This request was intended for the Missile Defense Agency. The tracking number in question was associated with a similar request made to the CIA and was inadvertently attached to this request. Can you please clarify the appropriate recipient in this case?

Thank you.

From: Graves, Aaron K CIV WHS ESD (US)

Ms. Berg,

In addition to the case number, I searched our case tracking database, but could not find a request from you. As the MDA does fall under our purview for FOIA processing, the request will need to be submitted to the OSD/JS FOIA office. Please let me know if you are still interested in this request and I will get it into our system.

V/r,
Aaron

Ms. Berg,
We continue to process your request. It is our policy that each request receives prompt attention, and every effort is made to treat all requesters equally. As previously noted, and unfortunately, our backlog of open requests at the time your request was received was over 1,554. Once I receive a response, all releasable records, if any, cannot be provided to you until all processing is completed. As soon as that occurs, I will send you a formal response letter to your request. Please note all documents are reviewed before we respond. Further note the unusual circumstances concerning your cases are: (a) the need to search for and collect records from a facility geographically separated from this Office; (b) the potential volume of records responsive to your request; and (c) the need for consultation with one or more other agencies or DoD components having a substantial interest in either the determination or the subject matter of the records. These 3 factors do have an impact on the processing of your case. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
