Hello Mr. Sanchez,

Thank you very much for your message and apologies for the delay in response. I am most interested in the most recent contract and all applicable amendments. However, I am also interested in all agreements held by the county regarding Laredo Processing Center. Could you give me a better sense for how far these go back? I do not want to saddle you with a request that is unnecessarily time consuming.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best,
Beryl
