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

Mr. Morisy,
By e-mail dated July 5, 2013, we advised you that we were still consulting with other SEC staff concerning records that may be responsive to your request. We are writing today to inform you that we have been advised that your request, as it is currently written, is too broad for processing under the FOIA, and to suggest that you narrow its scope. For example, you may consider limiting the time frame of your request, or identifying a few Congressional committees that you’re most interested in receiving records about. If you would like to discuss these or other possible ways in which to narrow the scope of your request, please feel free to contact me at 202 551-8655.

Mr. Morisy:
We have been advised by other SEC staff that in order to process your FOIA request (copy attached), we will need you to provide us with the following information:
1.Which Congressional committees are you seeking the requested records for?
2.Who is/was the Chairperson of those Congressional committees during the requested timeframe?
The SEC does not maintain its Congressional correspondence records by committee. Instead, the correspondence is maintained by Congress Member. Additionally, when the SEC corresponds with a Congressional committee the communication is generally addressed to the committee Chairperson. Accordingly, if we know which committees are the subject of your request and who the Chairperson of those committees is/was, then we can search our files for records sent to the individual Congress Members in their capacity as the Chairperson for the respective committees. Please provide this information at your earliest convenience. If we do not hear from you by October 7, 2013, we will assume that you are no longer interested in pursuing your request and we will close our files on it without further notice to you. If you would like to call me to discuss this matter, you may contact me directly on 202-551-6249.
Kind regards,
