Appeal No. 8-0905

Dear Mr. Weberman: You appealed from the action of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on your request for access to records pertaining to Aron Morton Kay maintained in the New York Field Office. As a result of discussions between Bureau personnel and members of my staff, a supplemental release of records either has been or will soon be made to you directly by the F.B.I. In light of this fact and after careful consideration of your appeal, I have decided to affirm the modified action in this case. Mr. Kay is not the subject of any New York Field Office file which was not reported to F . B . I . Headquarters , but is alluded to briefly in two files, the subjects of which are other individuals or organizations. You are being furnished only the portions of those files which pertain to him. Certain of the materials pertaining to Mr . Kay are classified and I am affirming the denial of access to them on the basis of 5 U.S . C. 552(b) (1). These materials have been referred to the Department Review Committee for review and determination whether they warrant continued classification under Executive Order 12065 . You will be notified if the Committee •s final decision results in the declassification of any information. Other materials were properly withheld from you pursuant to 5 U.S . C . 552(b) (7) (C) and (7) (D). These pertain to investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes, the release of which would, respectively, constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties, in some instances by revealing an investigative interest in them on the part of the F.B . I . , and disclose the identities of confidential sources. Names of Bureau agents and other government personnel were also excised on the basis of 5 U.S.C . 552(b) (7) (C) . None of the material being withheld is appropriate for discretionary release.
