Dear Mr. Neidenbach,

Please note that we expect this request to result in a large volume of material that does not constitute a public record and/or is exempt from disclosure. In any event, we consider your request to be overly broad and burdensome. As a consequence, we are asking you to narrow your request to include specific search terms. You should note, however, that even with a narrowed request, we expect this request to be burdensome and lengthy, with a large amount of exempt material.

Thank you,

Eric Digman

From: Stephan Neidenbach
