Can I inspect records before I decide I want them?

Can I ask questions under the FOIA?

Requesters must ask for existing records, at the time of their request, such as those mentioned above.
What is a record?
A record is the product(s) of data compilation, such as all books, papers, maps, and photographs, machine readable materials, including those in electronic form or format, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States Government under Federal law in connection with the transaction of public business and in the possession and control of the Department of Defense at the time the FOIA request is made.
Where do I send my request?
