FOIA Request for Snowden Intellipedia Grab

From: John Young <jya[at]pipeline.com:
Subject: FOIA Request
This requests any and all information about the alleged copying of the entire
IC Intellipedia by Edward Snowden.
Material provided in respsponse to this request will be published on the
public education website Cryptome.org, of which I am the administrator.
I agree to pay for costs associated with this request.
My FOIA request to you for elements of Intellipedia remains unanswered four
years after it was filed as your log of FOIA requests shows.
Thanks very much.
Sincerely,

Mr. Young, according to our database, we sent a letter to you on 11 January
2013 asking if you were still interested in the information and asking that
you please narrow the scope of your request if you were still interested.
We indicated that we would hold your request in abeyance for 45 days pending
a response from you. We did not hear from you and the request was
administratively closed and a follow-up letter was sent to you on 6 May 2013.
We mailed the letters to the address that you have provided (repeated below)
and our letters were not returned as undeliverable. I will be happy to forward
copies of those letters if you would like to have them for your records.
We have received your most recent request and will open a case for you. You
will receive an acceptance letter shortly. It will be mailed to 251 West
89th Street, New York, NY 10024. Please verify that this is the correct address.
Thank you,

Thank you for a prompt response. I regret not seeing your 2013 letters in
response to my request. I would like to have them. And, if still allowable,
I will narrow my request.
I do recall receiving a telephone call from a DNI representative some time
ago who said there had been numerous requests for Intellipedia information
and that your agency had not yet set a policy for response but would respond
after the policy was settled.
I appreciate the opening of a new case of considerable public interest.
The address is correct.
Sincerely,
John Young

Mr. Young, well get copies of those letters in the mail for you early
next week, unless there is a government shutdown.
With regard to your 2009 case, since it has been administratively closed,
you will need to submit a new request. At this time, NSA is handling requests
for information located on Intellipedia, so you will need to submit your
request to them. They require that requests for information from Intellipedia
be very specific in order to be able to process.
If you havent already done so, you may want to visit NSAs FOIA
Reading Room. Perhaps some of the information that you are interested in
has already been released.
Thank you,
ODNI/FOIA
