Hello Ms. Hutchison,
Thank you so much for your response. It's greatly appreciated.
Have a lovely evening,
Beryl

You are welcome. Have a great day!

Beryl,
Are you be available for a phone conversation tomorrow? I would like to get a better sense of what you are looking for and possibly help you narrow your request.
I reached out to our Law Enforcement and Investigations component to get a better sense of how the requested records are organized. It seems that the “Rainbow Gathering” and the affiliated organization impacts every region in the Forest Service. As worded, the description of the requested records lacks sufficient specificity to initiate a reasonable search.
I look forward to working with you so we can ensure timely processing of your request.
Best,
Danielle
