To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The number (quantity) of documents, guidelines, instructions, manuals, process documents or related materials regarding activities authorized by Executive Order 12,333. See http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/12333.html. If activities are performed under multiple authorities, including E.O. 12333 and Section 215 of the Patriot Act, or Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act (FAA), please consider them in scope of this request for count of E.O. 12.333 materials. Please note that the documents themselves are not requested - merely the existence / revision count of unique responsive documents. If the count of responsive documents is cumbersome to provide, the first page of each responsive document, redacted as necessary, is requested in stead. This allows equivalent count via ls piped to wc -l. Thank you!
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM, DVD-R, or BD-R if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Martin Peck
