Communications

From: Brett Carollo

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any communications between the State Department or employees thereof and the Hollywood film director Doug Liman, born Douglas Eric Liman on July 24, 1965. Such communications may include, but should not be limited to, emails, correspondence, memos, and transcriptions of telephone calls.

I am the Director of Research Operations at a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called The Decoding Culture Foundation. These documents will be used for public education and research purposes. I therefore request a waiver of all fees that may otherwise apply. Attached is a document with organization letterhead confirming my position, as well as the organization's 501(c)(3) application and approval form.

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,

Brett Carollo

From: U.S. Department of State
