To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting a list of all Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) programs (including dollar amount) and their recipients funded in Egypt from 2002-2012.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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.

Hello Ms. Duckett,

There has been a considerable amount of confusion regarding this request, and it appears to be because there were two very similar requests made on the same day. One was assigned a tracking number, a request regarding Moracco, identified as #F-2013-19716. That was not this request. This request is for:

a list of all Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) programs (including dollar amount) and their recipients funded in Egypt from 2002-2012.

This request has not yet received a tracking number.

Thank you for your help.
