text: If a requester knows that the CIA may use the Glomar response only for requests about covert operations, then a Glomar response to a FOIA [amounts to revealing that something exists as a covert operation].
ref: 1993, University of California, Davis. School of Law, U.C. Davis Law Review:
text: As an alternative basis for its holding, the District Court held that the CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C. § 431, permits a Glomar response only when the FOIA request relates to a covert activity.
ref: 1993, Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law:
text: 1997, Ralph C. Nash, Leonard Rawicz, Intellectual Property in Government Contracts, George Washington University, Government Contracts Program
This is a Glomar response, and exemption 6 must be cited in the response.
text: For example, with a "Glomar response," the agency neither confirms nor denies the existence of the requested records. Such a response is appropriate where revealing even the existence of the information would be tantamount to disclosing it.

teleophobia
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From German Teleophobie in the late 19th century. The OED considers the word modern Latin, but the earliest appearance is in the writing of Karl Ernst von Baer in German in the 1860s. Whatever the immediate source it can be analyzed as teleo- + -phobia, from Ancient Greek τέλος (télos, “purpose”) + -φοβία (-phobía, “-phobia”).
Senses: examples: ref: 1912, Friedrich Paulsen, translated by Frank Thilly, Einleitung in die Philosophie [Introduction to Philosophy]:
english: v. Baer is evidently right: the current view is afflicted with teleophobia. It seems to me that he is also right in finding the reason for it, not in nature, but in the natural scientist's fear of a false teleology. Teleophobia is the reaction against the old teleology of design, which repudiated and wished to replace a causal explanation.
