The agency disclosed several thousand pages, some of which were redacted or withheld under Exemption 5 (privileges). Microtechnologies filed an administrative appeal, but the agency had not resolved its appeal by the time it filed suit. Microtechnologies submitted a second FOIA request to the agency for records concerning responses to FOIA requests submitted by reporter Robert O'Harrow.
