From: Andrew Perez

I am concerned that your office may not have provided all documents responsive to my public records request. Please see the attached file documenting an exchange between the Rule of Law Defense Fund and Republican attorneys general, including Utah's attorney general, in July 2017.

The attached record references a panel on financial technology and also includes an item about "Current FOIA Requests Reported." Both of these items appear to be related to official business. Please note that it says Attorney General Reyes specifically requested the call.

I am requesting that your office conduct a new search for records responsive to my request.

Thank you,
Andrew
