To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any and all records or data associated with the Zoom call that occurred shortly before November 3, 2020 between Emily W. Murphy, the current administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), and Dave Barram, the former administrator of the GSA who was in charge of the GSA during the 2000 presidential election.

A "Zoom call" is an online call made using the Zoom online videotelephony software developed by Zoom Video Communications, Inc.

I am specifically seeking the content of the Zoom call between Ms. Murphy and Mr. Barram (i.e. either a recording of the call or a transcript of the call), if available. If the content of the Zoom call is unavailable, then I seek all metadata associated with the Zoom call (including but not limited to the date and time of the call, the length of the call, etc.)

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Christopher Tidmarsh
