Vupen Contracts (Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs)

To Whom It May Concern:

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

All contracts, memoranda and other communications with:

- Vupen
- Vupen Inc.
- Vupen Security
- Chaouki Bekrar

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

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,

George LeVines

To Whom It May Concern:

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Oct. 16, 2014. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed. You had assigned it reference number #15-00016.

Thank you for your help.

I do not sorry.

I have queried the federal database for the vendor but found nothing. However, I know that contracts with the vendor in question do exist because the NSA has released theirs. The lack of comprehensiveness of the federal database has led me to submit FOIAs to other agencies in order to determine if other contracts with this vendor exist.

Thank you for your diligence in this matter.

George
