The CIA disposes of FOIA-related documents five years after response.

Evidence

Someone at the National Archives had written the CIA to ask whatever had happened to nine documents involved in a FOIA request relating to George Polk’s murder. Edmund Cohen, chief of information management, replied: “The Agency generally disposes of documents released to FOIA requesters and the associated source documents five years after the Agency’s response to the requester.” — Nicholson Baker, Baseless- My Search for Secrets in the…, 808
