To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
An itemized list of products and services provided to CBP by Digital Receiver Technology as part of the following contracts from 2009 to 2013:
Procurement ID: HSBP1009P26062 (2009)
Procurement ID: HSBP1011P00811 (2011)
Procurement ID: HSBP1011P01230 (2011)

Procurement ID: HSBP1013P00704 (2013)
Procurement ID: HSBP20130027000194 (2014)
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. I request that fees are waived due to the fact that I am a proven journalist who specializes in FOIA-based reporting specifically on the use of DRT products by federal law enforcement.
See: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/26/stingray-surveillance-technology-irs-cellphone-tower
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,
William Green
