Our subject matter experts are seeking a clarification of your request. If you are still interested in these records can you respond by 14 December 2023 and clarify the scope of your request.

I am still interested in this and all other requests. Please clarify what clarification you need. Simply quoting my request (which specified the type of documents and the subject matter) asking me to "clarify the scope" of the request does not reasonably describe the clarification you need or what you are unclear on.

From: U.S. Space Command

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your quick response. As currently drafted your request doesn’t define individuals or AF components to search nor does it identify a time frame as a result it could be construed to include any Air Force internal communication. I think what you may be seeking is any formal communication or work in the production of the show. If that is the case, then we can limit the search to our public affairs unit. However, if you are seeking something else please let me know.
Thanks,
Ann Marie

From: U.S. Space Command

Good Morning,

I am following up on the email below. I will have to administratively close this request if you are unable to clarify your request by 12 January 2024.
Thanks,
Ann Marie
