Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
All emails sent to, from, or copied to: Rick Perry, from January 1, 2016 to Present Day containing any of the following non-case-sensitive key-string "liberals", "kushner", "Giuliani", "Mastroianni", "Elliott Broidy", "Mark Siffin", "George Nader", "Erik Prince", "alias", "FOIA", "Israel" or "whistleblower". After conducting a search to determine how many email records exist, if these records are too cumbersome to go through, please let me know the total number of records for the time period requested and I may desire to modify my request to limit the keywords or timeframe.
You may exclude emails that may be classified as newsletters, junk, or spam.
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.

You requested the search of emails range from January 1, 2016 to present day. Secretary Perry was sworn in as Secretary of Energy on March 2, 2017. Would you like to amend the timeframe to March 2, 2017 until present?
Please let me know how you would like to move forward. Feel free to call as well as email.

Yes, you may amend the request from March 2, 2017 until present. (In some instances administrative appointees were given an email address before they were sworn in - thus why I requested a larger time frame.)

Hello Taylor,
A search for responsive documents has been performed and the results are extremely voluminous (thousands of emails). To help get you records faster would you be willing to waive attachments? From a quick look most of these attachments appear to be draft documents which will most likely be heavily redacted. If you agree to waive attachments the name of the attachment will still appear and you can file a separate FOIA request to request the attachments you are interested in. Please let me know if you agree to waive attachments.
Thank you,
