Communications
From: Louise Matsakis
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the DC Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any emails, written communications, documents, or other communications between government officials that contain or reference the terms "military parade," "November 11 parade," November 11th parade," "Parade at Andrews Air Force Base," and "Paris Parade," either individually or together. I am specifically seeking records related to this event: http://thehill.com/policy/defense/402666-pentagon-trump-canceled-military-parade-before-being-briefed-on-cost
Government officials should limit their search to responsive records created between January 1, 2018 and the day that the request is fulfilled.
I am seeking all responsive records regardless of format, medium, or physical characteristics. In conducting your search, please understand the terms "records," "communications," and "documents" in their broadest sense, to include any written, typed, recorded, graphic, printed, or audio material of any kind.
I am seeking records of any kind, including electronic records, audiotapes, videotapes, and photographs, as well letters, emails, facsimiles, telephone messages, voice mail messages, and transcripts, notes, or minutes of any meetings, telephone conversations, or discussions.
My request includes any attachments to these records. No category should be omitted from search, collection, and production. You may not exclude searches of files or emails in the personal custody of your officials, such as personal email accounts. Records of official business conducted using unofficial systems or stored outside of official files are subject to the Federal Records Act and FOIA.
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 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Louise Matsakis

Hi Nana,
Thanks so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it. I unfortunately am unsure about what you mean by the "FOIA portal"? I am going to try giving you a call to see if you might be able to help me figure out where the documents were sent.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Louise Matsakis
From: Mayor's Office
Thanks for your email Ms. Matsakis,
The FOIA Portal is where you can make FOIA requests directly to the DC Government.
I've included the link here. Welcome to the District of Columbia Government's Freedom of Information Act Public Access Website <https://foia-dc.gov/>
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,
When attempting to recover what I assumed was a missing password, the DC FOIA portal gave me a message stating that no account exists that is associated with this email address. That being the case, I'm unable to obtain the released records using the portal. Could you please send them as an email attachment to this email address? Thank you so much!
From: Mayor's Office
Please see attached.
Thank you
