Good morning, we conducted a search with the keywords you sent and identified 3,397 potentially responsive emails. Do you have any suggestions on how we can narrow this to get better results to you?

From: Jimmy Tobias

Hi There,

Thank you for the note. One way to cut down on the results is you could exclude any aggregations of news clippings that are sent around on a regular basis within the agency. I am not interested in generic news clippings or regular news aggregations tho I am interested in news clippings if they provide context for email exchanges or other communications among NOAA officials. Let me know if that might help cut down at all.
