Good morning Mr. Pensworth,

Please be advised that the Department of Justice and the federal government have a decentralized system for processing FOIA requests and each component of the Department or federal entity maintains its own records. Accordingly, you need to direct your letter to the Department component or federal entity you believe have records pertaining to the subject of your request. Based on the information you have provided, you may want to direct your request to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the Department of Defense, as this federal entity may maintain records of interest to you. Contact information for DARPA may be found on https://www.darpa.mil/policy/foia.

We hope this information is useful, and thank you for your inquiry.
