Consider this a formal appeal of this denial.

I state my continued interest in seeing this respond fulfilled. I formally object to the use of permissive action with unreliable communication to deny legitimate, lawful requests for public information.

You should be ashamed.

Please complete this response promptly.

Best regards,
Martin Peck

From: Martin Peck

Your refusal to service my request based on clerical slight of hand is disingenuous and illegal.

Please respond as require by law for "Classification Guides produced by Original Classification Authorities (OCAs) " at your department / organization / charter. This is my lawful request which you are obligated to answer barring appropriate exclusions which you have not identified.

Thank you.
