Please conduct a comprehensive search for the requested records also generated by the agency's communications with other government offices related to this request, if extant, including the US Air Force, the US Navy, the FAA, the NOAA, US Government archives, and US Government contractors. These partner institutions are listed as examples and are not meant to be comprehensive. I hope to further discuss the adequate scoping of this request with National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's FOIA staff in the near future.
Note: I am a freelance reporter and would request that any relevant fees be waived. My past work has appeared at New York magazine's Intelligencer blog, Scientific American, Slate, The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, Chemical Engineering magazine, and elsewhere.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
