To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All reports received by SecDef from Joint Staff (JS) on or around 1 Mar 2011 concerning the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) Repeal Implementation.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Dear Mr. Smathers:
This is an interim response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated July 31, 2012, which was received in this office on August 1, 2012. Your request has been assigned case number 12-F-1170 and we ask that you use that number when referring to your request.
We will be unable to respond to your request within the FOIA’s 20 day statutory time period as there are unusual circumstances which impact on our ability to quickly process your request. These unusual circumstances are: (a) the need to search for and collect records from a facility geographically separated from this Office; (b) the potential volume of records responsive to your request; and (c) the need for consultation with one or more other agencies or DoD components having a substantial interest in either the determination or the subject matter of the records. For these reasons, your request has been placed in our complex processing queue and will be worked in the order the request was received. Our current administrative workload is 1,240 open requests.
