New doc obtained via #FOIA (#ATIP) — A top official at a Canadian spy agency tells a newly appointed US official: "I am committed to continuing to build on the excellent relationship between our two organizations and exploring further opportunities to expand such cooperation."

The letter was sent sometime after March 1, 2020. I submitted the request in June and asked for records from March 1 to the day the search was executed.

The letter was sent by Michelle Tessier, deputy director of operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), to congratulate a senior US official — whose name/agency is redacted — on their recent appointment to a new post.

Perhaps it was Alan Kohler, who was "named assistant director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division in April 2020.” But who knows!

Anyway, nothing groundbreaking here. Sharing for fun and because it’s a very small glimpse into the Canada/US relationship. It’s also the only page CSIS sent me in response to my request lol
