Sir - I've attempted to send documents responsive to your FOIA request to
this address both via email and through the Secure Release portal. I'm not
sure if the documents went through via the portal, so I attempted to email
them to you, but your email address does not have enough capacity for the
attachments. Is there another email address I can send the documents to?
Respectfully,
Andy Chrestman
