Good afternoon Mr. Sampson,
I apologize for the delay on getting this FOIA request response to you.
Our data and information pull has now been completed. We had a successful
information pull and received thousands of pages of documents relating to
your FOIA request. My staff is currently reviewing and redacting (per FOIA
Exemption Law) where necessary and preparing this package for final release
to you. This is a tedious and time-consuming process. Given GSA's current
FOIA workload and FOIA request backlog, I am estimating to have this FOIA
response package to you by the end of May. We will keep you notified of
any changes to this anticipated release date.
Thank you.
