ORDER

1
The government's argument that our holding in this case conflicts with Silets v. United States Department of Justice, 945 F.2d 227 (7th Cir.1991) (en banc) misreads our opinion.  Silets held that a district court did not abuse its discretion in denying in camera review of records requested under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. § 552, because affidavits submitted by the government "(1) describe[d] the withheld documents and the justifications for non-disclosure with reasonably specific detail, (2) demonstrate[d] that the information withheld [fell] logically within the claimed exemption[s], and (3) [were] not controverted by either contrary evidence in the record or by evidence of bad faith."  Id., at 229 (citations omitted).   Our opinion is not to the contrary.   We held the affidavits submitted by the government in this case did not adequately describe the withheld documents and justifications for non-disclosure, and remanded to permit the government to submit affidavits containing sufficient detail to allow Wiener "to intelligently advocate release of the withheld documents" and the district court "to intelligently judge the contest," Wiener v. F.B.I., 943 F.2d 972 (9th Cir.1991, as amended September 26, 1991), at 979.   We expressed no views as to when, or whether, submission of such affidavits would make in camera review of the withheld documents unnecessary.   See id.
