Nancy Pelosi commencement address (UC Berkeley)

Dear Mr. Skelding:

This will acknowledge and respond to your Public Records Act request below.
Appropriate offices are being notified of your request. Records identified
as responsive to your request will be reviewed, and made available for your
access, in accordance with relevant law and University policy. The
estimated date of production is at least 8 weeks, which will vary
accordingly due to the nature, complexity, and/or length of the request.
Whenever possible we will provide records on a rolling basis, as they
become available.

Although the requested records have not yet been fully gathered and
reviewed, it is possible that the requested material may contain
information exempt from disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act.
However, this is not a determination that the requested records are
necessarily exempt from disclosure. This office will provide you with a
status update after the requested records have been thoroughly reviewed.

Please note that the California Public Records Act allows agencies to make
records available “upon payment of fees covering direct costs of
duplication.” (Government Code Section 6253(b)). The charge for disclosable
records are normally provided at a cost of $0.20 per page for scanned or
paper copy, and will be sent upon receipt of payment of all
scanning/copying costs.

Regards,

Liane Ko

Public Records Coordinator

On April 30, 2014:

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California's Sunshine Amendment (Cal. Const. Art. I, §
3(b)), I hereby request the following records:

Any and all written agreements, contracts, riders, and memoranda or
understanding created for Pelosi's commencement address. Documents
requested include, but are not limited to, details of compensation or—if
she is not directly receiving compensation—substitutional giving toward a
charity, non-profit, or other society.

According to pelosi.house.gov, Pelosi "will deliver the commencement
address to the graduates of the University of California, Berkeley on
Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 10:00 am." (Published online here:
http://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-to-address-graduates-at-uc-berkeley-bard-college)

I am willing to accept immediately releasable portions of my request in
anticipation of a full response.

In order to have this request fulfilled in a timely matter, I am also
willing to limit my request to clearly releasable portions of the requested
documents. I reserve the right, however, to submit a new request if I am
not satisfied with your response.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this
request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made
available to the general public free of charge as part of the public
information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the
news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for
commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would
inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would
prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available
or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I
look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar
days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Conor Skelding
