                Subpart C--Release and Denial of Records
 
Sec. 5.32  Release of records.

    (a) Records previously released. If we have released a record, or a 
part of a record, to others in the past, we will ordinarily release it 
to you also. However, we will not release it to you if a statute forbids 
this disclosure, and we will not necessarily release it to you if an 
exemption applies in your situation and did not apply, or applied 
differently, in the previous situations.
    (b) Unauthorized disclosure. The principle stated in paragraph (a) 
of this section, does not apply if the previous release was 
unauthorized.
    (c) Poor copy. If we cannot make a legible copy of a record to be 
released, we do not attempt to reconstruct it. Instead, we furnish the 
best copy possible and note its poor quality in our reply.
