To Whom It May Concern:

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

Please find
1) Request #4 (highlighted on p.2) within enclosed "SBA-2018-000862 FOIA", FOIA request made by JEQ&Co
2) Enclosed, "18_06_20_SBA-2018-000862_SBA_FOIA_acceptance" stating, in part "The FOIA office requires no further information from you as it relates to your initial request."

Request number 4 has been referred to the Defense Logistics Agency."

Records in response to 'Request #4" from FOIA SBA-2018-000862 have never been produced.

Pursuant to 32 C.F.R. §286.8 Timing of responses to requests. "...the response time will commence on the date that the request is received by the appropriate DoD Component's FOIA RSC, but in any event not later than 10 working days after the request is first received by any DoD Component's FOIA RSC that is designated to receive requests."

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.
