To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
The response to Senator Ron Wyden's February 2021 inquiry to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security on data purchasing practices.
The response is mentioned in the following VICE News article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/88ng8x/pentagon-americans-surveillance-without-warrant-internet-browsing
Please release all reasonably segregable material, as the FOIA requires.
I request that I be properly classified as a media requester. I am an investigative journalist who has written numerous articles on topics of public interest for the Asia Times, Responsible Statecraft, the National Interest, Reason Magazine, America Magazine and the Armenian Weekly, and I am requesting these documents in an editorial capacity. Please contact me if you have any questions about my media status.
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,
Matthew Petti

Good Afternoon Mr. Petti,
We are still awaiting the responsive documents from the component. We initially gave them an ECD of June 17, 2021. However, that is just an ECD so the documents can come back before that date or after that date. I have sent the component an case update email and will let you know their response.
Hope this email helps.

Good Morning,
We apologize for the delay in providing a final response. Unfortunately the initial review of the documents did not meet the requirement for legal analysis under the FOIA, so another review is being conducted to ensure we provide appropriate/responsive information. Again, our sincerest apologies, but we're hopeful in getting a response to you no later than November 3. We certainly hope to have this completed before then, but wanted to provide our best estimate at this time.
