From: Michael Morisy

To Whom It May Concern:

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

A copy of emails sent by or to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State.

These documents were mentioned in a recent New York Times story:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/03/us/politics/hillary-clintons-use-of-private-email-at-state-department-raises-flags.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=second-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

I'm a news media requester, and plan to use these documents in my ongoing reporting. Many of my articles are available for review at muckrock.com/news

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Michael Morisy

Michael Morisy,

The assigned Department case number is F-2015-05024 You will be receiving an official acknowledgement letter shortly.

Given the considerable public interest generally in the e-mails provided by former Secretary Clinton to the Department of State, the Department plans to review the collection for public release and to make the documents available to the public by posting them on a Department website. This will make the maximum number of records available in the shortest amount of time, and will be considerably more efficient than reviewing the documents piecemeal in response to subject-specific FOIA requests.

Once the collection has been posted, the Department will review your request to determine whether further action is needed.
Regards,
Katrina
FOIA Requester Service Center
