We received your request in the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)

correspondence concerning this request. We have twenty (20) workdays in

However, it may not always be possible to provide the documents within this

Please be advised that your request may be subject to fees for search,
review and reproduction costs. Should this be the case, you will be given
an estimate of the costs. All estimates are developed in Good Faith and
are based on our reasonable judgment. However, due to the unique nature of

Dear Mr. Smathers:

This is in response to your U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (GSA number 270747), dated June
17, 2014, in which you requested “[a]ll communication with Lois Lerner and
any representative of your agency including emails and other forms of
communication.” Specifically you stated we can limit the records to those
created between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2012.

After a thorough search of GSA records, we were unable to locate any
documents responsive to your request. Since the agency does not have any
records within the scope of your request, this does not constitute a denial
of records.

You have the right to appeal the adequacy of our search. To do so, you
must write within 120 days of your receipt of this letter to:

U.S. General Services Administration

FOIA Requester Service Center (H1C)
1800 F Street, NW – Room 7308
Washington, DC 20405

Your appeal should contain a brief statement of the reasons why you believe
GSA should have the requested information. Enclose a copy of your initial
request and a copy of this letter. Both the appeal letter and envelope
should be marked prominently, "Freedom of Information Act Appeal."

Should you have any press-related questions, please contact me by telephone
at (202) 219-3078 or email at travis.lewis@gsa.gov.

Sincerely,

*Travis Lewis*

FOIA Program Manager
