CIA Claims it Cannot Find its Own Declassification Regulations
Kel McClanahan of National Security Archive submitted to the Central Intelligence Agency a Freedom of Information Act request for "the CIA's copy of its new regulation 32 C.F.R. 1908." This is a public document: a regulation in the Code of Federal Regulations. It is available, for example, here: 32 CFR 1908.
The CIA even has a copy of 32 CFR on its own website (though evidently not the current version!):
http://www.foia.cia.gov/32CFR.asp
http://www.foia.cia.gov/txt/32CFR.pdf
But the CIA responded to this request this way:
We did not locate any records responsive to your request... our searches were thorough and diligent, and it is highly unlikely that repeating those searches would change the result...
