To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any documents containing information regarding heightened security presence
on Nantucket to protect Secretary of State John Kerry and his family,
specifically a memorandum of agreement or a memorandum of understanding
between federal and local officials

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.

FOIA/PA Program

Mr. Craven,

Your organization has a substantial number of requests. The Department
of State keeps track of requests by case numbers. In the future when you
request a status on a case please provide the case number in the subject
line of your message and make sure it is the correct case number. This
will not only make it easier to find your case, it will facilitate a
quick answer to your inquiry.

You have provided an incorrect case number. Please provide the correct
case number and we will try to provide the status of your case.

Mr. Craven,

Please note that the Department of State does not process FOIA requests submitted to other agencies. The Department would not have opened a case if the letter you included with your e-mail had been received. As a result, IPS will take no further action in this matter.

If you wish to make a FOIA request for records in the possession of the Department of State, you may do so by mailing or faxing your request for Department of State records to the following address:

Mr. Craven the FOIA request was not attach. Would you please resend with the attached FOIA request so that I can have a search initiated to determine whether it has been received by the Department. Thank you,
