Dear Mr. -----------------
This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act request of 8
January 1986 in which you request information on a group referred to as
MJ12 or "Majestic 12" and Projects Sigma, Snowbird and Aquarius.
Please be advised that Sigma and Snowbird are not projects of this
Agency, so we would have no records responsive to that portion of your
request. In addition, no records were located relating to M12 or
"Majestic 12."
An initial survey of materials responsive to that portion of your
request dealing with Project Aquarius would result in search fees in
excess of $15,000 for manpower and computer costs. Our search would be
facilitated and the search fees may be less if you provide us with
additional information regarding the type of information in which you are
interested. This request for further specificity is in accordance with
DoD regulations governing the processing of FOIA requests.
Should you wish us to initiate a search for records responsive to
your request as stated in your 8 January letter, please be advised that our
policy is to request advance payment of one-half the estimated cost, as
well as an agreement to pay the balance, prior to initiating the search.
Please be advised that your agreeing to incur these fees will not
necessarily result in the disclosure to you of any information. It has
been our experience, that any records responsive to your request, if such
records exist, most likely would be classified or otherwise exempt from
release in accordance with the exemption provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act. The application of these exemptions to NSA information
has been consistently approved by the Federal Judiciary.
