UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 May 11,2004 SECRETARY Jonathan M. Block, Esq.
94 Main Street P.O. Box 566 Putney, VT 053436-0566 IN RESPONSE REFER TO 2004-004A
Dear Mr. Block:
I am responding to your letter of April 27, 2004, to the Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act Officer, in which you appealed the agency's April 15, 2004, response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) initial request 2004-0160, dated March 15, 2004. You requested a copy of a note from Howard Shapar to Joseph Hennessey dated April 3, 1967. This record was denied on the basis of exemption 5, as attorney-client privileged information.
Without conceding that the NRC is bound by law to grant your appeal, I have decided to make a discretionary release of a portion of this document-the portion dealing with section 189a.
This is a final agency decision. As set forth in the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B)), judicial review of this decision is available in a district court of the United States in the district in which you reside or have your principal place of business, or in which the agency records are situated, or in the District of Columbia.
Sincerely, Annette L. Vietti-Cook Secretary of the Commission
