DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AGENCY CHIEF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT OFFICER REPORT
FOR 2014
DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT
[NSA excerpt]
The NSA FOIA and Declassification Services Offices identified records appropriate
for posting based on requester interest. These offices did not wait for there
to be frequent requests, but based the decision to post information on the
likelihood that others would have a significant interest in having access
to the information. NSA added two new sections to the front page of its public
website www.nsa.gov. With these new sections,
the general public was able to see NSA information released in response to
news reporting on the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
Examples included statements to the press, as well as public speeches, found
at the following link:

The NSA FOIA and Declassification Services office reviewed, released, and
posted 136 editions of the Cryptolog (4,400 pages), along with frequently
asked questions about the history of the journal and the significance of
the release. NSA posted 100 additional documents (249 pages) relating to
the USS PUEBLO incident, History Today articles, an NSA Technical Journal
article, Cryptologic History documents, NSA policies, and several miscellaneous
documents, totaling over 1,000 pages.
o The NSA Research Directorate posted the following new material on NSA.gov
at
http://www.nsa.gov/research/index.shtml:
Science of Security contest winners; information about the NSA partnership
with North Carolina State University; the 20th Anniversary issue of its quarterly
publication, The Next Wave.
