Mr. Galante:
I have determined that the responsive records I uploaded to the OpenRecords portal for FOIL-2019-860-00132 are no longer there (or were somehow not correctly submitted). I will re-upload the records on or before June 21.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Galante:
My apologies for not posting the responsive documents as I had thought I could do today by c.o.b. We have been temporarily relocated from our offices and they are cutting off network connections in a few minutes. I expect I will be able to fully comply with your request on Monday. Again, my apologies.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Cobb
