l l 5. The withheld information consists of interagency or intraagency records that are not available through discovery dag IrDgation. Declosure of predecisionalinformation i

would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process. Where records s't uthheid in their entirety, the facts are inextocabN j intertwined with the predecisional information. There also are no eessonably segregable factual portions because the 'eicase of the facts would permit an l endirect inquiry into the predecisional process of the agency. (EXEMPTION 5) 1 l 6.

The information consists of names of individuals and other information the disclosure of which would reveal ide : ties of confidential sources.
