Pursuant to the District of Columbia Freedom of Information Act of 1974, D.C. Code Ann. § 2-531 et seq. ("D.C. Act"), I hereby request the following records:

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 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Mr. Schmidt:

This email responds to your Freedom of Information Act request, first received by this office on January 13, 2014, and later refined in a subsequent communication on January 14, 2014, in which you requested certain emails sent by or received from Allen Lew, Warren Graves, Tony Robinson, and Barry Kreiswirth and any email address from the @nationals.com domain from August 1, 2013, through the date of the request.

To locate these documents, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer performed an electronic search to locate the requested emails, and I reviewed those emails for responsiveness to your request and potential privileges from disclosure. Attached to this email is a PDF file that contains the records responsive to your request. No records have been withheld and no redactions have been made.

You also requested any "diagrams for the proposed roof on Nationals Park". My search did not locate any such diagrams.

Under D.C. Official Code § 2-537 and 1 DCMR 412, you have the right to appeal this response to the Mayor or to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. If you elect to appeal to the Mayor, your appeal must be in writing and contain “Freedom of Information Act Appeal” or “FOIA Appeal” in the subject line of the appeal letter as well on the outside of the envelope. The appeal must include (1) a copy of the original request; (2) a copy of any written denial; (3) a statement of the circumstances, reasons, and/or arguments advanced in support of disclosure; and (4) a daytime telephone number and e-mail and/or street address at which you can be reached. The appeal must be mailed to: Mayor’s Correspondence Unit, FOIA Appeal, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 316, Washington, D.C. 20004. Electronic versions of the same information can instead be e-mailed to the Mayor’s Correspondence Unit at foia.mayor@dc.gov. Further, a copy of all appeal materials must be forward to me. Failure to follow these administrative steps will delay the processing and commencement of a response to your appeal to the Mayor.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at this email address or the phone number below.

Sincerely,
Barry Kreiswirth
