Mr. Tobias,
I am reviewing the records for request OS-2020-00177. The search has resulted in emails from daily news services and weekly activity report entries. The mentions of OIG are primarily the announcement of reports they have undertaken.
May I exclude either or both groups of records?
If you would like to chat about the record review please call my office number (202-513-0806) between 8am-4pm EDT. The call rolls over to my telework location.
Thank you for your consideration, Wendy Schumacher

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the notes. I appreciate it.
You can leave out the daily news reports and weekly activity reports, though if there are any weekly activity reports that specifically mention any OIG investigations into Domenech, or if there are any news articles that are commented upon or shared by Domenech that reference investigations into him, I'd love to obtain those. Does that sound good?
Jimmy
From: Department of Interior, Office of the Secretary
Jimmy,
Yes, if there are any weekly reports that meet this criteria I will include them.
Thanks, Wendy
