Freedom of Information Request: Air Force One list of passengers on plane
for unnoficial business.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request
the following records:

Passenger Manifests or other passenger lists for Air Force One generated
between January 20, 2009 and the date that this request is processed. I
also request the flight plans for these trips, including documents that
detail date of flight, origin and destination information, and any
documents that detail the general purpose or reason for passengers on a
given flight, reimbursement amount, and White House representative was on
that flight (Example: President/First Family/Vice President).

I am specifically interested in passengers of Air Force One that were on
the plane for unofficial business, i.e. excluding members of the White
House administration and staff, press pool, and others on official
government business. The amount reimbursed for these passengers is an
important part of this request. If you have records that indicate these
sorts of trips (Such as the one mentioned here where Jon Bon Jovi was on
Air Force One to support the President?s re-election campaign) :

)

If you can limit this request to only such trips, I would appreciate it;
if this request cannot be limited in that fashion, I request all such
responsive records. If you have suggestions to further clarify or narrow
my request, please let me know.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this
request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made
available to the general public free of charge as part of the public
information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the
news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for
commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Patrick Downing
