Dear Mr.
___________:
This responds to your request under
the Freedom of Information Act dated
11 June 1986 for any documents
concerning
UFOs, any documents received
from U.S. Embassies concerning the
Brazilian
UFO incident, and all
documents pertaining to PROJECT MOON
DUST.
Upon review, it has been determined
that there are 61 documents responsive
to your request. Of these 61
documents,
portions of 16 are properly
classified and are not releasable.
The properly classified portions
withheld are exempt from release
pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(1), (b)(3),
and (b)(5), Freedom of Information
Act.
Subsection (b)(1) applies to
information properly classified under
the criteria provided by Executive
Order 12356. The statutory basis
for invoking subsection (b)(3) is to be
found at 50 U.S.C. 402, NOTE (Public
Law 86-36). Subsection (b)(5)
applies to inter- and intra-agency
memoranda
which are advisory in nature.
All reasonably segregable portions of
the 16 documents, absent
administrative and classification data,
are attached hereto.
All substantive portions of three other
documents are properly classified
and are not releasable. There
are no reasonably segregable portions of
this exempt material. The properly
classified portions withheld are
exempt from release pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552 (b)(1), Freedom of
Information Act. The remaining
material is not forwarded because it is
routinely deleted administrative and
classification data unrelated to the
subject matter of the request.
The remaining 42 documents are attached
hereto, absent administrative and
classification data. You are
advised
that the documentation provied is
the most legible available from our
archives.
You are advised that a requester may
appeal, within 45 working days, an
initial decision to withhold a record
or part thereof. Should you wish to
exercise this right, you may do so by
referring to case #F0I-0504-86 and
addressing your appeal
to:
Director
Defense Intelligence Agency
