Hi,
I just wanted to add that I'd prefer to get the relevant database in its current form, both for the sake of documentation, and hopefully to make this simple for you as possible. If you have any reasonable request for how I'd change the scope of my request to match what you have, please just let me know.
Thanks and all the best,

Hello,
The materials I received are woefully incomplete and unhelpful.
I'd request that this document be expanded to include
1) the text of the FOIA request, and not just the number assigned
2) the documents returned in response, not just the status.
Thanks and all the best,
Benny
