To Whom It May Concern,
This message pertain to FOIA request 24-F-0279.
Thank you for releasing the Production Assistance Agreement signed between DoD and the production of Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part One, aka Mission: Impossible 7, aka Libra. Am I to understand, based on this response, that the only records that the Department of Defense will release through FOIA concerning its collaborations feature film productions are partially redacted production assistance agreements and similar contracts?
Sincerely,
Brett Carollo
