This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All memos, emails and reports in the Department of Transportation's possession relating to the cost of food and beverages purchased by Amtrak to sell on trains from Jan. 1, 2011 through Aug. 3, 2012.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest.

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.
