If you receive a Glomar response to a FOIA request, you can use that to file a Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR). You can request for the records to be declassified and challenge the classification. You have to make sure that you follow the correct procedure and appeal to the ISCAP board in time. Info on MDR appeals http://www.archives.gov/declassification/iscap/mdr-appeals.html Info on MDR http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/foia/foia_guide/foia_guide_chapter4.pdf The NSA Archive has experience in filing MDRs http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/ On a side note, the US Navy, for months, lost my FOIA request about Tor and the Navy finally transferred the request to the correct department...where it continues to languish.
