To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

Any and all documents mentioning the XKeyscore program since 2001. Please include all contracts, training materials, source codes and any other relevant supplemental materials, including PowerPoint presentations, emails, reports and/or memorandums.

In the event that the contents of the requested documents are classified under Executive Order 13526, I also make the following additional requests:

Pursuant to section 1.2 of Executive Order 13526, I am requesting the level of classification of this information and its existence/nonexistence.

Pursuant to section 1.3 of Executive Order 13526, I am requesting the specific authority which classified this information.

Pursuant to section 1.4 of Executive Order 13526, I am requesting the specific classification categories of this information, as well as an identification or description of the damage to national security which the disclosure of this information would produce.

Pursuant to section 1.5 of Executive Order 13526, I am requesting the specific duration of time for which this classification will stand.

Pursuant to section 1.6 of Executive Order 13526, I am requesting all classification markings about this information, including (1) one of the three classification levels defined in section 1.2 of Executive Order 13526, (2) the identity, by name and position, or by personal identifier, of the original classification authority, (3) the agency and office of origin, if not otherwise evident, (4) declassification instructions, and (5) a concise reason for classification that, at a minimum, cites the applicable classification categories in section 1.4 of Executive Order 13526.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Rich Jones

Dear Mr. Jones,

I am writing in response to your status request faxed on or about 30 Sep 2013, regarding your FOIA request submitted to the NSA/CSS FOIA Office on or about 1 Aug 2013. Your FOIA request was assigned Case Number 73582. An acknowledgement letter was mailed to the address provided on 26 Aug 2013, which was posted on the MuckRock website. Your FOIA request remains "in processing" as we continue our search and review of potentially responsive documents.

I encourage you to submit future status checks via email using the FOIA Requester Service Center (RSC) address: foiarsc@nsa.gov<mailto:foiarsc@nsa.gov>. This will ensure that I receive your inquiry in a more timely manner. Additionally, status checks sent via MuckRock's fax format are often very difficult to read, which could cause delays in responding to your inquiry. I will be better able to decipher the specific email address that MuckRock has provided for you should you choose to utilize the NSA FOIA RSC.

Your patience is appreciated as we process all requests on a first-in, first-out basis.

Mr. Jones,

There has been no change to the status of Case 73582 since the email I sent on 17 Dec. 2013. This case is still in processing. Due to the high volume of requests this Agency is processing, I suggest you check back in about six months.
Thank you for your patience,
