Good morning, Mr. Pensworth,
The Office of the Secretary of Defense Freedom of Information Division did not assign you the reference number DODOIG-2020-000048, instead that number is associated with the Department of Defense Inspector General. Please indicate the OSD FOIA request(s) to which you are following up, as you have several.
Those reference numbers - for the cases I processed - were provided to you in the final response letters sent to you on October 23 and October 25, 2019, as well as an interim response on October 17, 2019.
Additionally, I would be glad to discuss the status of your cases over the phone.
Very respectfully,
Laura Pintar
