The agency disclosed portions of a memorandum entitled "Pre-September 11, 2001 Trading Review," but continued to withhold most records under Exemption 5 and a variety of other exemptions. MacKenzie asked for the rest of the appendices for the Trade Review memorandum. The agency declined to release any further records and MacKenzie filed suit.
