To Whom It May Concern:

1) This is a FOIA Request
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All messages, emails, memos, reports, and other records and communications relating to or created as a result of the following Freedom of Information Act Requests made by myself to the NNSA: FOIA 17-00132-k and FOIA 19-00054-EW. Responsive records should include, but not be limited to, emails and other communications between the FOIA officer(s) and contractors/personnel where the records were searched for; emails and other communications created by and between contractors/personnel at the site(s) where the records were located or searched for; and emails and other communications between FOIA officers about or in response to these requests. You may restrict your search to records created between and including the dates of June 1, 2017 and February 26, 2019.

As the FOIA requires please release all reasonably segregable portions of responsive records. If you withhold records or portions of records then please indicate under which exemption you claim to do so and provide me with my options for appeal.

2) Fees and Fee Status
I am a PhD student at the University of New Mexico and the information requested is for academic and public education purposes, including my PhD dissertation project, and not primarily for commercial use. Furthermore, I will make responsive records available to the public via my academic publications and presentations as well as on social media and my blog. Please note that you can access my UNM student profile page at the following url: https://anthropology.unm.edu/people/grad-students/profile/martin-pfeiffer.html.
Therefore, as per Sack v. DOD (2016) I qualify for educational institution fee status and ask that you process my request accordingly. In your response please confirm that you will be processing my request under the educational institution fee status. I agree to pay fees up to $30 without additional notice. In the event that there are fees exceeding $30 then please inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

3) Record Delivery and Communications
I hereby request that all records generated by this request be delivered in electronic format via email or, if that is not possible, on CD-ROM if available. If you have any questions or information regarding this request then please do not hesitate to contact me, preferably via email. Please provide an email address through which I can contact you to discuss this request. You may, and I request that you do so, engage in rolling release of responsive documents.

I look forward to receiving your response within the twenty day statutory period. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and time in this matter.

Regards,
Martin Pfeiffer

Hello Mr. Pfeiffer,

I hope all is well.

I am working on FOIA 19-00114-AB. Do you have a few minutes for a very brief chat tomorrow? Less than five minutes should suffice. If tomorrow doesn't work, Is there some other date and time that is acceptable for you? I am happy to work around your schedule.

Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi Ms. Bowman,

My apologies for the delay in response. I have been feeling poorly and am only now catching up with my email.

I can be available Monday 2pm (Albuquerque Local) if that works for you? Do you have a preferred phone number I should use? Any weekday after 2pm is good and I can do some mornings. Just let me know what works for you.

Thank you for your effort and consideration on this matter.
