Good morning, Mr. Lipton:
I am reaching out to you regarding your FOIA request to ACF. The original analyst working on your request is no longer with the department, so I will be taking over your request. I see the records in the previous analyst's file, and it looks like she reviewed most of the records. Please give me a day or so to figure out where she left off, and I will give you a more clear update on where we are with the records.
Thank you for your patience, and my apologies for not reaching out sooner. I will try to get the records out to you as soon as possible.
Thanks again,
Alexis

Good morning, Mr. Lipton:
I am picking up where the last analyst left off in the review of your pages. Once I complete my review, I have to send almost all of the pages off to Air Force for consult (which means that I let them review the records because many of the records originated from their office).
Once consult review is complete, I will send the records out to you.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions/concerns.
Thanks so much,
Alexis

Good morning:
The records have been sent to Air Force for a consultation. The records contain exchanges between Air Force and ACF. As such, Air Force must be given the opportunity to review the portions of the records they created. Once they review and give their response to ACF, we will send the records out to you.
Thanks so much,
