I appeal.

You are complying with neither the letter nor the spirit of the law. The law says you are obliged to release all segregable releasable portions and you did not seem to even make the slightest attempt to do so.

Moreover, the President's Memorandum on FOIA requires that agencies release all possible records.

Other investigatory agencies release these types of documents, redacted if necessary, but no agency withholds records in full in this manner.

Please provide all releasable records responsive to my request.

Regards,
Jason Smathers
