.. g I therefore request that you waive all search and reproduction fees pursuant to section 552(a)(4)(A). The Archive is the type of requester presumptively entitled to a fee waiver under the FOIA, because furnishing information in requested documents would primarily benefit the general public. Should you decline to waive all fees, however, we are prepared to pay your normal search fees (and reproduction fees, if I decide to copy the records produced). Our willingness to pay fees is subject to our rights to appeal and litigate the fee waiver question, and payment would be deferred until exhaustion of such rights. I further ask that if you decline to waive fees, you obtain our authorization before incurring search costs in excess of $100.
In order to expedite the release of the listed documents, I request that you disclose them as they become available to you, without waiting until all the documents have been assembled. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer regarding the identity of the records, their location, or the scope of the request, please call me. I look forward to receiving your response within the statutory time period.
Yo r ver, truly, fg v.
