A no responsive documents response.

From: Taylor Amarel Scott

I wish to appeal this determination.

The reasons given by the NSA are illogical and contrary to FOIA law and the actions of the NSA. Most particularly, the NSA already responded to a similar FOIA request and did reveal the existence of records. See: http://lawflog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2018.10.04-Letter-from-NSA.pdf

Therefore, pursuant to the NSA's response that if it provided records or information about a request to one requester, it must do so for everyone, I respectfully request that the exact number of pages be disclosed.
