Hi Kris,

I would like to revise my request to reduce the burden on the agency. I would like to limit my request to only documents within your office and exclude FOIA logs to sub-agencies. Please let me know if the fees do change.

In order to help determine my status to assess fees, I am a graduate student at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism. This request is made for journalistic purposes.

Thank you,
Kelly
