(b) Records related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of the Foundation;

(c) Records specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than 5 U.S.C. 552b ), providing that such statute (1) requires that the matter be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion, or (2) establishes criteria for withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld;

(d) Trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from any person which is privileged or confidential;

(e) Interagency or intra-agency memoranda or letters which would not be available by law to a private party in litigation with the Foundation;

(f) Personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;

The Foundation will not honor requests for exempt records or information.
