To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All correspondence (e-mails, official letters, text messages) between GAO Team Director of Natural Resources and Environment, Anne-Marie Fennell, and the office of U.S. Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-Az.) concerning an investigation into violence against public lands employees at the following agencies: U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the National Parks Service.

Please limit your search to between July 1, 2017 and October 31, 2019.

As a reporter working on tight deadlines, I would appreciate what consideration you can give to expediting my request. If any portion of the material becomes available before others, I would request that those materials be made available as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the entire request to be fulfilled.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Lia Russell
