Mr. Jason Leopold
Reference: F-2013-02515
Dear Mr. Leopold:
This acknowledges receipt of and is a final response to your 21 August 2013 Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy on 22 August
2013, for the following:
...the same records a requester sought on February 5, 2013 that was assigned case
number F-2013-0709 [sic], "Request for all communications from Jan. 1, 2012 to present,
between Congress and/or Congressional staffers."
We are unable to process your request as there were no records provided in the earlier case
(F-2013-00709). Our records further show that we advised the previous requester the following: the
FOIA requires requesters to "reasonably describe" the information they seek so that professional
employees familiar with the subject matter can locate responsive information with a reasonable
amount of effort. Commonly this equates to a requirement that the documents must be locatable
through the indexing of our various systems. Extremely broad or vague requests or requests requiring
research do not satisfy this requirement.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
