Hi Taylor,

Can we setup a time for a brief phone call to discuss the terms for your request? Please let me know which day and time work for you.

If we do not hear back from you by COB October 01, 2019, Department of Energy will deem that you are no longer interested and will close this request.

Hello, thank you for your message.

I am currently overseas and do not have access to an international phone line.

Would it be possible to discuss this video email.

Preliminarily, you may ignore newsletters, junk mail, or other subscription based emails.

Thank you

From: Department of Energy

Hi Taylor,

I understand that you do not have readily available phone access, and I appreciate you responding to my email so quickly.

I wanted to speak to you about amending the request to remove the four (4) search terms:

- "alias"

- "FOIA"

- "Israel"

- "whistleblower"

The reason for this is that the universe of documents pulled in the search will be too big if we keep these terms and will contain a lot of false hits. This will unnecessarily delay the process of review and my intent to get you the responsive documents as quickly as possible. Moreover, these four terms may still appear in responsive documents notwithstanding their removal from the initial search parameters.

Please let me know if you are amenable to this amendment, and I can start the search for the documents.

Thank you,

Hi Taylor,

Hope you are doing well. I wanted to update you regarding the search that is almost complete. The domain address for Theodore Garrish was created on May 5, 2017. Therefore, the search results will populate from May 5, 2017 to the cutoff date of October 9, 2019. I will be working on reviewing the results as soon I receive the search.

Please confirm this amendment.
Thanks,
Bhavesh
