From: Beryl Lipton
Hello,
Yes, I am still interested in these materials. However, once you locate responsive contracts and agreements, I would be willing to further discuss refining and further responsive materials, should they exist.
Thank you,
Beryl
From: Department of Health and Human Services
Good afternoon, Beryl Lipton:
This office greatly appreciates your prompt response.
Unfortunately, due to an anomaly in the HHS FOIA system, we sent the HHS Continuing Interest letter to the wrong MuckRock News email address, which means it connected you to the wrong request.
Therefore, I am re-sending the HHS Continuing Interest email, right now, to the correct email address.
Apologies, again, for the oversight.
Best regards,
Kathy M. Hill
