Greetings Mr. Smathers,
We are working on cleaning up our FY 13 data and hope to have your request
fulfilled by December 4th. Staff retirements, the sequester and the
subsequent furlough put our office behind. We are working on your request,
and I will send your data as soon as it is ready.
Thank you.
