I'd like to access these records. Is there a way you can send the records to my stated contact information. I do not have access to FOIAonline. Many thanks.

Just trying to get an idea as to when the records will be released and how I can get them released to my FOIAonline account. The request wasn't made through that site so I'm curious how that part gets done. ANY help you can provide in explaining that to me would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
