David,
My mistake. Please amend the request to read:
Any communications between the U.S. Government Accountability Office and any email address ending in "@compliance.gov". Please limit the search to records generated no more than one year prior to the date this request is processed.
Happy to submit a new request if need be.
Thanks,
George

Dear Mr. LeVines,
We conducted a search for any GAO-issued products related to the OOC within the past year and did not come up with any results. Therefore, there were no emails between GAO and any email address ending in "@compliance.gov". Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,

David,
Thanks for the quick response.
Can you explain what is meant by GAO-issued products, and explain how this search was conducted? Was the search performed using GAOs email systems/database or some other system?
Thanks again,
George
From: Government Accountability Office
Mr. LeVines,
We conducted a search on our Intranet for any reports, testimonies, or other correspondence that involved the OOC. If any of these products existed, it would have appeared in this search. Since there were no products, there was no work done that involved the OOC, and there were no emails to/from them. If there are specific individuals at GAO you believe would have had communications with the OOC, please let us know, and we can try another search. Otherwise, there is no way for us to search every GAO employees' email account.
Thanks,
David
