Mr. Matt,
I received word from our Legal Liaison today. His response is copied and pasted below:
I do not need further clarification. I received responsive records on this request but there is a lot. I will have to review them for any necessary redactions and then I will send them up to your unit. Not sure on the timeframe.
Thank you.
