From: Freddy Martinez
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
For the 2021's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Department of Defense proposed a draft change to Section 1041 "CLARIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES WITH RESPECT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BY CERTAIN OFFICERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT" Source:
https://fas.org/man/eprint/ndaa-2021-prop/03062020-bill.pdf.
Therefore, we request, under the Freedom of Information Act, documents prepared in the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs for the 2021 NDAA including changes to Section 1041
We request any communication received by your office by outside vendors, contractors, and non-government agencies related to the 2021 NDAA.
We request internal discussion in the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs for Section 1041 of the 2021 NDAA.
We request any internal discussion about the 2021 NDAA with external government agencies, specifically related to Section 1041 of the NDAA. Please be aware that this provision has been previously amended in the 2018 NDAA, so responsive records may be in previous years of the NDAA. (source: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2810/text)
We request that you search the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs but do not limit your search to just that office.
Additional Instructions
The requests that all fees incurred in connection with the attached request to your agency be waived, because “disclosure of the information is in the public interest and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.” 5 U.S.C. §552 (a)(4)(A)(iii). See below for further justification for our fee waiver request.
If any of the material covered by this request has been destroyed or removed, please provide all surrounding documentation including, but not limited to, a description of the action taken regarding the materials and justification for those actions taken. For any documents or portions you deny due to a specific FOIA exemption, please provide a Vaughn Index (Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820, 827 (D.C. Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1974)), including a detailed justification of your grounds for claiming such exemption and explanation of why the exemption is relevant to the document or portion of the document withheld.
To the extent that some documents may be exempt under 5 U.S.C. §552 (b), we request that you release you segregate non-responsive documents and release the rest.
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,
Freddy Martinez

Good Afternoon Mr. Martinez,
We continue to process your request. It is our policy that each request receives prompt attention, and every effort is made to treat all requesters equally. As previously noted, and unfortunately, our backlog of open requests at the time your request was received was over 3,337. Once I receive a response, all releasable records, if any, cannot be provided to you until all processing is completed. As soon as that occurs, I will send you a formal response letter to your request. Please note all documents are reviewed before we respond. Further note the unusual circumstances concerning your cases are: (a) the need to search for and collect records from a facility geographically separated from this Office; (b) the potential volume of records responsive to your request; and (c) the need for consultation with one or more other agencies or DoD components having a substantial interest in either the determination or the subject matter of the records. These 3 factors do have an impact on the processing of your case. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Respectfully,
