Good Afternoon:

Mr. Kates thank you kindly for calling me today in regards to helping this
agency move forward with your GSA-2017-001257 FOIA request.

This request is for "[a]ll emails, memorandums or reports that reference
the 'Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice" or "EJ IWG "
produced during the year 2016, and between January 1, 2017 and June 25,

In an attempt to narrow this request you offered to accept all emails and
attachments as well as "any/all noted/written changes or orders to this
program (Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice oe EJ IWG")
ordered or advised with the incoming administration.

Mr. Kates, please let me know if I have captured your request properly. If
so, I would like to keep the noted language from your original request,
adding the narrowed scope, providing you with a new FOIA number, also
providing you with the responsive results of the current records pulled as
well as completing a search of any changes made from 2016 - present day by
the Trump Administration.

Please let me know if you agree, if you need to add or take away.

Once again thank you for speaking with me today.
