This should include but not be limited to requests for, or documentation of, funds used to cover settlement agreements, court costs, or other expenses related to lawsuits.

If it is your position that any portion of the requested records is exempt from disclosure, we request that you provide it with an index of those documents as required under Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1972).
