From: O. Glenn Stahl

If we narrow the scope/date range would that help? Can MuckEock request a fee waiver as a public interest group and/or media?

From: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration

Yes, a narrow scope will expedite the request. Unfortunately, MuckRock does not qualify as media, they are more like an attorney filing on behalf of a requester. In those instances we look to the requesters status.

I'll have a member of my staff reach out to you to discuss.
