To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am preemptively waiving any objection to the redaction of the names of any U.S. Government officials below a GS-14 position or who otherwise were not acting in a supervisory position. I similarly waive any objection to redactions of the names of any U.S. Government contractors in a position of authority similar to that of a GS-13 series civilian employee or below.

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 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,

Paul Szoldra, Task & Purpose

Good afternoon Sir,

Is it possible to narrow down your request for records? After reviewing the
files that were received, it is going to take a bit of time to process your
request as the file is pretty big. Is there a specific case that you are
looking for? I appreciate your time.

Good evening,

I am contacting you regarding the response for the subject FOIA request. I
