To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
I seek any and all documents in the agency's possession that pertain to the WikiLeaks website or organization from January 2006 to the present date, including but not limited to emails, memos, notes, briefings, reports and other documents related to, mentioning or generated as a result of:
* guidance and instructions for employees regarding visiting the website or otherwise reading or learning about it in the news
* internal reactions to the website's existence and disclosures
* damage reports regarding the website and its disclosures
* efforts to identify, investigate and/or mitigate potential leaks to the website
* efforts to identify, investigate and/or mitigate potential unauthorized viewing of the website or news reports analyzing it and/or its contents
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,
Emma Best

Ms. Best,
After reviewing this request and searching for responsive documents, we
have determined that the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council)
has no responsive documents. The Council’s mission is to help restore the
ecosystem and economy of the Gulf Coast and does not have any documents
that pertain to the WikiLeaks website or organization.
Please note that you have the right to seek assistance from the Council’s
FOIA Public Liaison. Let me know if you wish to see such assistance and I
will provide you with the contact information.

You know you're legally required to advise me of my right to appeal, not simply say I can contact the liaison... right?

determination within 90 days (by August 22, 2019). In addition, you have
the right to seek dispute resolution from the Council's FOIA Public Liaison
and from the Office of Government Information Services. The Council's FOIA
Public Liaison is Dave Gilliland and he can be reached at
David.Gilliland@restorethegulf.gov. Please let me know if you need any
