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

Please note I am making this request in the public interest and am not seeking any identifiable personal information of interview subjects. If any such information is present in responsive documents, I am open and amendable to appropriate redactions as long as the corresponding FOIA exemption(s) are cited. If any aspect of the search for these records is unduly burdensome or unclear, please notify me and I will be happy to clarify or amend the scope of my request.
