Thank you for the update on our request. Have a good weekend!

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm following up on the following Missouri Sunshine Law request, which was originally submitted on Feb. 28, 2018. You previously indicated that it would be completed on March 23, 2018. I wanted to let you know that I am still interested in the following documents, and to see when they may be available.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

Thank you for sending these documents. I do have one follow-up question. Can you please provide us a copy of the invite from the Federalist Society referenced in these emails? It looks like the file name is AGJHNLC.Invite.pdf. Thanks!

One last addition - can we also get a copy of the invite from the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform? It looks like the file is named "Summit Invitation for AG Hawley.pdf." Thank you!

Sorry didn’t realize those were the same files already. Thank you!
