I refer you to our letter dated July 21, 2020, regarding the review of certain Department of State
material under the Freedom of Information Act (the “FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552. A duplicate
version of record C06679743 was inadvertently released to you in the production of July 21,
2020, with cadre number C06762743. For consistency, enclosed please find the same version of
the record with the intended cadre number C06679743.
An enclosure explains the FOIA exemptions and other grounds for withholding material. Where
we have made excisions, the applicable exemptions are marked on each document. In some
cases, two or more exemptions may apply to the same document. All non-exempt responsive
material that is reasonably segregable from the exempt material has been released, and is
enclosed.
If you have any questions, your attorney may contact Trial Attorney Johnny Hillary Walker, III,
at (202) 252-2575 or [email protected]. Please refer to the case number, F-2018-04736,
and civil action number, 1:18-cv-01862, in all communications about this case.
Sincerely,
Susan C. Weetman
