Full expectations

“While the CIA made a minimal production of documents on May 9, 2023, the CIA admitted that it did not perform a full and complete search of all agency records prior to that production. In a phone conversation on May 12, 2023, with Committee staff, the CIA committed to cooperating in full with the Committees’ oversight. In particular, the CIA has committed to the following steps: Conducting an agency-wide search for documents and communications with each of the names of the 51 signatories to the public statement for the period October 1, 2020, to October 31, 2020. Conducting a search for all documents and communications related to the approval of David Cariens’s memoir Escaping Madness, including but not limited to Cariens’s email(s) to the PCRB seeking approval of his work, any internal communications about the work, and any outgoing email responses from the PCRB to Cariens; and Conducting a search of all CIA phone records for the period October 1, 2020, to October 31, 2020, for any phone communications between CIA employees and any of the 51 signatories to the public statement, including but not limited to David Cariens. “We fully expect the CIA to produce all responsive documents to the Committees’ March 21, 2023, request in unredacted form no later than May 30, 2023. If the CIA does not produce all responsive documents, the Committees may resort to compulsory process.”
