Can someone please call me about this? I don't understand why this is on hold. I tried calling and did not get anyone on the phone.

From: Christina L. Urso

I am specifically requesting information regarding the article I linked which mentions MITRE corporation receiving contracts for Covid-19 contact tracing. That is a narrow scope and it seems like you have already provided this information to one publication.
