Dear Khang Le,
Your FOIA request was forwarded from the Office of the Secretary for direct response to you.
Please be advised that our agency does not have any records or information regarding your FOIA request below. Specifically the applicable program advised that:
The Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) was first authorized in 1981. The name was changed to The Emergency Food Assistance Program under the 1990 farm bill. Accordingly, we do not have data on the quantity of cheese and dairy-related products distributed from 1970-1990.
This concludes our response to you.
Sincerely,
FNS FOIA Office
