Mr. Horn:

I am unable to to this process this request as it is overbroad and extremely nonspecific:

1. This request, were I able to address it, primarily falls under 40.25.115, Electronic Records Production.
2. The non-specificity of Divisions, Departments, or employees that may need to be searched creates an insurmountable obstacle for any sort of relevant searches.
3. There is no timeframe specified.
4. The Office of the Governor is not the custodian of public records for other Executive Branch agencies.
