From: Victor Michel

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

By means of the following, I request any and all information concerning Mexican Military or Police Units that have been rejected for training and/or equipment during FY 2006-2012 by the United States Government due to human rights violations, as is stated on the Leahy Law both in the Foreign Operations Appropriations Act and Defense Appropriations Act. Please advise on how many units --either single soldiers or police officers or platoons and/or batallions-- have been rejected during that period. Please state if the unit is military or police and the year that training and/or equipment was rejected.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Victor Michel
