Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Rosemary Collyer has ruled that the FBI conducted an adequate search for records concerning John Fenton Wheeler, a retired AP reporter who had been expelled from Cuba in 1969 allegedly because of his stories concerning a Mexican embassy worker who was accused by the Cuban government of being a U.S. spy. The FBI had searched its Central Records System for "109 files," which pertain to foreign political matters. Wheeler had also requested the search slips created by the agency in searching for records responsive to his request. The FBI found no 109 files pertaining to Wheeler and located six slips, which were redacted and released. Dismissing Wheeler's arguments concerning the 109 files, Collyer noted that "Mr. Wheeler's belief that additional responsive files may exist that were not released is contradicted by the detailed declarations submitted by the FBI, which state that no 109 files were located and all other responsive documents were provided." She added that "without some evidence indicating that those files may indeed contain responsive materials, Mr. Wheeler cannot overcome the FBI's affidavits." Wheeler argued that the search slips indicated that other 109 files had been searched, but the agency had failed to produce them. Collyer pointed out that "the mere reference to those files in the search slips does not mean that they are responsive to Mr. Wheeler's request; it means only that they were examined during the search." The FBI had withheld a file number contained on one of the search slips under Exemption 1 (national security). Wheeler argued that release of the file number could not possibly harm national security. But Collyer responded that "Mr. Wheeler's own familiarity with the FBI system demonstrates why the FBI might want to withhold an entire file number when it pertains to a specific intelligence activity �" those who understand the system could discern important information from the connections between the numbers and letters." Collyer dismissed Wheeler's argument that he had not received any inventory worksheets, noting that "the use of inventory worksheets was discontinued when the FBI converted from manual processing of FOIA documents to an automated system know as the FOIA Document Processing System. The FBI discontinued use of inventory worksheets prior to Mr. Wheeler's FOIA/PA request. Therefore, there are no worksheets to produce to Mr. Wheeler."
