Cipher Systems, LLC contracts and OTA Proposals

To Whom It May Concern:

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

All existing copies of Cipher Systems, LLC contracts and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) proposals as a member of the System of Systems Security consortium (SOSSEC) from January 2005 - August 2013.

Records analysts should use the following keywords: "SOSSEC", "Delaware Valley Intelligence Center", "fusion center", "Picatinny Arsenal", "social media monitoring", "surveillance", "strategic intelligence", "competitive intelligence", "Knowledge.Hub", "Philadelphia".

This request is not meant to be exclusive of any other records which, though not specifically requested, would have a reasonable relationship to the subject matter of this request.

If my request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I will also expect to be provided with all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material. Please separately state your reasons for not invoking your discretionary powers to release the requested documents in the public interest.

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,

Dustin Slaughter
