Upon consulting internally here at HQ, our folks confirmed we do have the authority to process this as a derivative classification review, instead of a declassification request. Based upon the summary you provided below, I concur with using this at the UNCLASSIFIED level in your product. Consider your request approved. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you! Thanks, [redacted, (b)(6)] - OSI CI Collections and Operations PM, Intelligence Oversight PM [redacted, (b)(6)]' [PAGE 2] [Email, AFOSI initial reply, FOIA Exemption 1.4(a)]: 'Good morning, Thank you for your request. Our process for declassifying IIRs is lengthy and requires AFOSI Commander signature so I'm exploring options akin to a security review of the UNCLASS summary you have provided below. This is a first for me so I appreciate your patience as I try to streamline this request for you! Thanks, [redacted, (b)(6)] - OSI CI Collections and Operations PM, Intelligence Oversight PM' [PAGE 3] [FOIA Exemption 1.4(a) - page largely redacted/blank] [PAGE 4] [FOIA Exemption 1.4(a)] CURRENT CLASSIFICATION: S//NF (SECRET//NOFORN).
