Sir,
Good Morning. Thank you for your email and your patience.
I returned to my office from an extended absence and will process your
request today. Per our conversation phone conversation in March, your
request has been amended to exclude personally identifiable information that
would normally be withheld pursuant to exemption (b)(6). This information
will be redacted from the responsive documents. I hope to have the
responsive documents to you by COB, but certainly no later than the close of
this week.
