Good afternoon Mr. Kaplan:
I work for the Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas. We will be working to provide answers to your FOIA request, however we need some areas clarified before we can proceed, as in its current form it is very broad. Specifically, we need a window of time that you would like us to research, for example, "2012 to present." We will have this request on hold and once we hear back from you we can move ahead. Thank you.
