To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Missouri Sunshine Law and the Missouri Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

- Any and all communications between the St. Louis County, Mo. Police Department and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) between August 1, 2014 and August 14, 2014
- Any and all communications between the St. Louis County, Mo. Police Department and the Department of Homeland Security concerning the Homeland Security Grant Program between January 1, 2012 and August 14, 2014
- Any and all communications between the St. Louis County, Mo. Police Department and the Defense Logistics Agency's Law Enforcement Support Office between January 1, 2012 and August 14, 2014

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. I am a professional journalist whose work has appeared in national outlets, including the Boston Globe, Al Jazeera America, Salon, Huffington Post, and elsewhere. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Joshua Eaton

I have not been able to locate any documents responsive to number 2 and 3.
However, I have enclosed a copy of the list of our assets, free of charge since I previously released it, in case that might answer some of your questions.
