1. I am writing to confirm the scope of your FOIA request regarding "records of food or meals ordered for or provided to inmates at Guantanamo Bay since Sept. 11, 2011." By way of introduction, I am an attorney at U.S. Southern Command with FOIA responsibilities.
2. Our search produced approximately 3 documents, totaling 9 pages. The documents consist of an email string regarding detainee food supply, a PowerPoint presentation on detainee meals, and a memo on detainee food inspections.
3. Before we finalize and respond to your request, we want to confirm these are the types of documents you are looking for. (I recognize the difficulty in answering this question, given the limited information I've provided.) If you're looking for something else, please let us know. We can do another search.
