Dear Mr. Jones,
This email is regarding your request for the 2012 report on Saudi Arabian textbooks produced by the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD) commissioned in 2011.
I contacted the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs within the Department and I was told that your request is confusing; that this is not a USG program. They suggested that you contact someone at ICRD: http://icrd.org/; where you could get information on the report you are requesting. Let me know if this helps.
Thank You,
Avery Bullard
