UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05787519 Date: 01/07/2016
Unclassified material doesnt need to be transmitted by secure fax; if the material wasnt
classified, Sullivan would have had them faxed normally.
Ordering aides to remove headers to facilitate the transmission over unsecured means strongly
suggests that the information was not unclassified. On top of that, removing headers to avoid
transmission security would be a violation of 18 USC 793 anyway, which does not
require material to be classified only sensitive to national security.
State did leave this document unclassified, but thats because there isnt any discussion of what
the talking points cover. They redacted the subject headers with B5 and B6 exemptions, invoked
to note that the FOIA demand doesnt cover the material (in their opinion).
