Reasonably Describe Records |
|
Describe the specific record (s) you seek with sufficient
detail that a knowledgeable official of the activity may locate the record with a
reasonable amount of effort. Such detail should include: dates, titles, file
designations, and offices to be searched. |
|
Since most records are not retained permanently, the
more information that you provide, the better the opportunity there is to determine
if the records involved still exist and where. The FOIA clearly states that
records must exist
at the time the request is submitted. |
