Porup v. CIA (D.C. Cir.) -- affirming district court’s decision that: (1) plaintiff’s “policy and practice” claim was moot because after plaintiff filed suit, CIA changed its policy of refusing to process requests seeking information related to conduct that CIA believes would be unlawful, and (2) CIA performed adequate search for certain operational files concerning use of poison for covert assassination, and it properly withheld records pursuant to Exemption 3 in conjunction with National Security Act of 1947.
