Shawn:

I am forwarding your request to our state FOIA manager for processing. He will review and determine if additional information is required and whether your request for fee waiver will be approved.

Mr. Musgrave,

The Connecticut Military Department (CTMD) is in the process of conducting a search of our records to determine the existence of any additional responsive documents. As the request is extensive, it will require a reasonable period of time to identify, retrieve and compile any responsive documents. Upon conclusion of the records search, the CTMD will notify you of the results. Keep in mind, you may incur cost associated with these documents.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me.

Thanks,
