Dear Mr. Carter:

Dear Mr. Carter:

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 October 29, 2019. Your request concerns
architectural and engineering drawings for the White House (NAID 631330).

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 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 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 *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 Research Services within
the next 20 business days. In the future, if you need to follow up with
that office directly, please contact them at the address below, or
electronically via email.

Dear Elliot Carter,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act request of
October 29, 2019 for records in the custody of the National Archives and
Records Administration. Your request was received in this office on October
30, 2019 and assigned inquiry number 20-05116.

The Cartographic Branch was able to locate the exact records referenced in
your request, Architectural and Engineering Drawings of the White House
Renovation, 1951 – 1953 (NAID: 631330), which are referenced in our catalog
at the following link: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/631330. All of these
records are restricted fully under FOIA(b)(1) National Security,

Because these records are restricted, we are forwarding your request to our
Special Access/FOIA (RD-F), who will review your request and reply
separately to you. If you have any further questions about this request,
the FOIA office may be reached at specialaccess_foia@nara.gov.

The Cartographic Branch does also hold some White House plans which are
unrestricted and available to access. If these records may be of interest
to you, please email a request describing the types of plans you are
seeking to our main reference email: carto@nara.gov and we will respond to
you with citations for other White House drawings that we hold that are
unrestricted and available to view and/or copy.

This completes the processing of your request. If you have any questions,
you may reach me at 301-837-1833 or brandi.oswald@nara.gov.

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 attached enclosure.

Dear Elliot Carter or Whom It May Concern:

The Cartographic Branch replied on October 28, 2019 and closed out the
initial request for records. We forwarded your request to
specialaccess_foia@nara.gov because the records that you requested were
classified. Mr. Carter subsequently requested to have additional responses
sent to a different email address, elliotcarter212@gmail.com.

Please contact specialaccess_foia@nara.gov to follow up on your subsequent
request on October 28, 2019 for the restricted White House drawings.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Brandi Oswald
