    Dear Mr. Aamot:

    This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated October 19,
    2023 for access to Biden Vice Presidential records pertaining to the creation of Vice President
    Biden’s alias/pseudonym email accounts and related policy documents covering non-standard
    accounts in the Executive Office of the President. Your request was received by the Archival
    Operations Division on October 19, 2023. FOIA requests for Biden Vice Presidential records are
    processed and reviewed for access under provisions of the 1978 Presidential Records Act, as
    amended (PRA) (44 U.S.C. §§ 2201-2209), which incorporates the Freedom of Information Act (5
    U.S.C. § 552) in substantial part.

    We have performed a search of our collection for Vice Presidential records related to your request
    and have identified approximately 731 electronic files of potentially responsive records that must
    be processed in order to respond to your request. Please keep in mind that these totals are an
    estimate and that all material processed may not be applicable to your specific topic.

    The staff of the Archival Operations Division is currently processing and reviewing FOIA requests
    that precede your request. To treat everyone equitably, we have placed your request in our simple
    queue by the date it was received in our office.

    FOIA requests are processed and reviewed for access under provisions of the PRA and FOIA and are
    subject to the provisions of NARA regulations at 36 C.F.R. § 1270.46, which require that we notify
    the representatives of the former President and the incumbent President and the former Vice
    President prior to the release of any Vice Presidential records. Also, it should be noted that
    documents processed in response to your request may be closed in whole or part in compliance
    with applicable PRA restrictions and FOIA exemptions.

    When processing is complete and the notification period has passed, we will inform you of the
    availability of the requested records. At that point, you may request copies of these records at a
    reproduction fee of $0.80 per page, or you can choose to view these documents in the research
    room in the National Archives Building where a self-service copier is available for the price of $0.25
    a page.
    If you have any questions regarding your FOIA request, please contact our staff at 202-357-5200 or
    [email protected]. Your case log number is 2024-0012-F. Please have this number
    accessible for reference during any future contact concerning this FOIA request.

    Sincerely,

    STEPHANNIE ORIABURE
    Director
    Archival Operations Division
