Communications
From: Muira McCammon
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
(1) All emails and records of communication between the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and Zablon Simintov, including all records pertaining to his assertion that one of his Torahs had been stolen by a member of the Taleban (who was taken at some juncture to GiTMO). In 2005, Zablon Simintov told a reporter of the Washington Post Foreign Service that he had been informed by the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan that the person who stole his Torah was being held in GiTMO (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39702-2005Jan26.html).
(2) More broadly, emails or cables to, from or about: Zablon Simintov or Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's Ministry of Interior between January 1, 2000 and July 1, 2016 that mention (a) his missing Torah, (b) the Taleban member thought to have taken Zablon Simintov's missing Torah, and/or (c) GiTMO.
I am an academic, currently affiliated with the Harvard Law School as well as the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. As such, I ask that all fees be waived for this request, given that this request is being made for exclusively educational purposes. I intend to make all requested documents tied to this request available to the general public and also plan to incorporate them into my academic work.
In the event that there are fees (though given my status as a graduate student I do not anticipate them), 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,
Muira McCammon

In response to your case control number F-2016-08736, I have contacted the Case Analyst and requested a status update and estimated completion date for your case. The Analyst will contact the bureaus doing the searches and the individuals reviewing the material. This will take some time because each case is different. The search and review time varies. The time depends on the complexity of information requested and the time it takes to review the material.

Dear Muira McCammon
This is in response to your October 19, 2016 email, regarding case number F-2016-08736. The Department's electronic case notes indicate the case is still open Each case is different and the processing time depends on the complexity of information requested, the location of the information, and the time it takes to review the records.
The estimated completion date (ECD) for this case is: October 2017.
ECDs are subject to change and are "strictly" estimates and not intended to be used as "actual" dates of completion, due to various extenuating factors, which are beyond the control of the Branch, which may or may not include coordination with other Agencies during the process (referrals, concurrences, etc.). Interim release dates are provided, as applicable.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further concerns or any questions regarding any FOIA-related matter, please contact the FOIA Requester Service Center (FRSC) at (202) 261-8484, or fax us at (202) 261-8579 or send an e-mail to foiastatus@state.gov.

From: U.S. Department of State
Ms. McCammon,
The Office of Information Programs and Services electronic Records System indicates your request remains in process.
It is the policy of the Department of State to provide all releasable material as soon as the search and review process has been completed. You will receive a substantive response when your request is fulfilled, denied in part or denied in full. The Department provides interim responses in FOIA cases instead of waiting until all processing is completed. Therefore, you may receive more than one substantive response on a rolling basis.
It is the Department of State's policy to release information to the maximum extent possible. If some information must be removed from a record which is released in part, the amount of information removed will be indicated at the place where the deletion is made. You will be notified of the number of documents withheld in full, if any. For all information withheld, in full or in part, you will be notified of the basis for withholding and provided instructions on how to appeal the Department's decision.
Once your case is completed, the Department will assess the fees accrued during its processing, and you will be notified in writing of any payment that you may owe.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further concerns or any questions regarding any FOIA-related matter, please contact the FOIA Requester Service Center (FRSC) at (202) 261-8484, or fax us at (202) 261-8579 or send an e-mail to foiastatus@state.gov
