Case report and file 18-0700

Dear FOIA Officer:

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

The full Report of Investigation and the case file, including complaints and interviews, for case number 18-0700, "BLM Official Allegedly Abused Travel and Government Vehicle."

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

As a freelance journalist, I expect to be placed in your news media category. As evidence of my publication record, here are links to some of my articles:

Furthermore, I request a fee waver on the grounds that this information is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the government—i.e., misconduct and waste of public funds by high-level officials.

However, if you do require fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me if the total charges exceed $25.

I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

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.

Sincerely,

Maraya Cornell
