REPLY TO ATTENTION OF:
Information Systems Management Branch
This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Case #07-65.
You requested an electronic copy of our FOIA Case Log for FY 2002
to 3rd quarter FY 2007 (June 3, 2007).
The U.S. Army Special Operations Command conducted a thorough
search for records responsive to your request and located case logs
for two separate categories; Army FOIA requests and Joint Services
FOIA requests. Enclosed is a redacted copy of the electronic
documents. Please disregard FOIA Case #07-31(J} since the enclosed
records perta to both FOIA Cases #07-65 and #07-31(J}.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense has designated Headquarters,
U.S. Special Operations Command, its components' headquarters, and
theater Special Operations Commands as "sensitive units" as defined
by 10 USC 130b. The code (10 USC 130b) precludes release of
personally identifying information in units that are sensitive,
routinely deployable, or overseas. Personally identifying
information regarding any person's name, rank, duty address,
official title, official email address, and phone numbers contained
in the requested documents is being withheld under Exemption 3 of
the FOIA (5 USC 552(b) (3}) and Exemption 6 of the FOIA (5 USC
552(b) (6». Information is also being withheld pursuant to
Exemption 6 of the FOIA, because disclosure of this information
would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion into the
individual's privacy erests.
This is only a preliminary decision. We are referring your request
to the Office of the Judge Advocate General, Attention:
-2-
DAJA-AL, 1777 N. Kent Street, 10th Floor, Rosslyn, VA 22209, for a
final determination and direct reply to you.
