To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Please provide response provided to FOIA # 14-0091, which was related to detailed significant activity data from Iraq 2003-2011. CSV/XLS format of raw data requested instead of PDF.
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.
Sincerely,
Christopher Aragao

Sir,
USCENTCOM is unable to provide any type of format other than PDF.
This is a measure that prevents documents from being altered.

Could you ensure the pdf is of good quality and ocr’ed? I have received imaged PDFs before with low quality scanning and it is extremely labor intensive to extract the information. Converting to text via python produced so many errors that it would take me months of manually comparing the data.
Also, please consider providing both a pdf and csv. It appears in previous responses the data is in a tabular format already. There is absolutely no incentive for me to alter the data in any way, shape or form. I am just trying to tell the veterans story overseas, that is all. In your response, you could write, “the pdf reflects the official information and is certified, but we have provided the attached csv/xlsx as a courtesy.”
I understand the concern and appreciate any help with this.
