          Ms. Patricia Lambert
          5720 Owensmouth, Unit 168
          Woodland Hills, California  91367

          Reference:  F95-1533

          Dear Ms. Lambert:

               This is to acknowledge receipt of your 6 September 1995
          Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information on
          Clay Shaw and in which you ask several questions regarding
          Clay Shaw's association with the CIA,  and a CIA project
          named QKENCHANT  (or QXENCHANT...). Please accept our
          apology for the length of time it has taken us to respond to
          your 6 September letter.

               Please be advised that the FOIA does not authorize or
          require federal agencies to answer questions on behalf of
          requesters, nor does the FOIA require us to perform research
          or create records for a requester.  Neither are we required
          to study a body of material to see if it is related to a
          specific event, activity, or incident or individual.  The
          FOIA provides  for public access to reasonably described
          records.  Documents must be described sufficiently to enable
          a professional  employee familiar with the subject to locate
          documents without  an unreasonable amount of effort. This,
          with  few exceptions, means that the documents must be
          locatable  through the indexing to our various records
          systems.

               Notwithstanding  the above, we conducted a search of our
           database of previously released records and have enclosed
           listings obtained under the title Shaw which may be of
           interest to you.  This material was located as a result of
           previous thorough and diligent searches conducted in our
           other records systems on behalf of earlier requesters in
           response to FOIA requests and subsequent litigation for
           information on the same subject.  No records were located
           under the titles QKENCHANT or QXENCHANT.  As a requester in
           the connercial category you are entitled to any pages
           available at a cost of ten cents per page for copying fees.
           If you want to order any of these items, please check toier'
           items you want and return the listings to this office.
           Please keep in mind that there may be duplicative documents
           and inaccurate page counts.  Therefore, we will advise you of
           the total amount due, if any, when we send you the requested
