Communications
From: Jason Smathers
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All records of communication between your agency and the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships including but not limited to emails, letters or other communication to and from Joshua DuBois or any member of his staff.
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.
Sincerely,
Jason Smathers

Good Morning Mr. Smathers,
I called you this morning using the numbers you provided in your request and left a voicemail message. Again, please note the request is overly broad and in order to conduct a reasonable search of responsive records, we are asking the following:
o What is the search timeframe for your request? (FY2009 or FY2010)
o Please provide a list of the additional staff members associated with your FOIA request
We are requesting you provide this material within 5 business days. In the event you are unable to comply with narrowing the scope of the request by February 4, 2011 COB, we will close your request using the withdrawal process.
Regards,
Steven D. Lawrence
