To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Emails and other records of correspondence (including meeting notes, faxes, letters, and memos) sent to or from Scott Lloyd, the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), an office of the US Administration for Children and Families.

I am only requesting correspondence from the above with the following individuals and organizations:

Center for Family and Human Rights (C-FAM)
Austin Ruse (President of C-Fam)
Robert Royal, Ph.D. (Boardmember)
John O’Sullivan (Boardmember)
Michael Walsh (Boardmember)
Rev. Paul Sullins (Boardmember)

If your email search and retrieval system is better configured for keywords searches, you may also search for emails and other communications that mention the above names (i.e., responsive records would be emails from the above that include the term “C-FAM” or “Austin Ruse”).

If you believe that this request is too broad or if you have questions or suggestions to reduce its burden, please let me know and I’m happy to discuss further.

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.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

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.
