Hardway v. CIA (D.D.C.) -- determining that agency performed reasonable search for records concerning plaintiff and his former colleagues who worked on congressional committee that investigated assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Of note, holding that it was reasonable for the CIA to use the date it commenced the multistep “search process” as the search cut-off date instead of the date the agency executed searches in agency databases.
