Dear Elliott,
I'm just inquiring what the status of 2017-TSFO-00014 is. The DHS.gov Check Status of Request says 12/04/2016, which is off obviously, since it's a Sunday and most staff at any government agency are off weekends, except essential personnel obviously.
Sincerely,
Patrick Mannion
From: Bellinger, Elliott
