Mr. George,
Thank you for your follow up inquiry. The initial search did not produce any
responsive documents to your request. Mr. Daniel does not retain routine email
communications and hence does not have these in his possession.

Mr George:
In your message of August 26 you included the original email dated August 16 along with that
message's attachment. This is how we became aware of the original, which was not received in
these offices on August 16.
Now that we have the request we will follow up and respond.
Sincerely,
John Millsaps.

Mr. Hillsaps,

I am utterly confused. If there's no record of my request, and since I sent my message today to the
same parties I contacted on the 19th, why am I'm now getting a response from the USG?
Regardless, would you like me to resend the document/open records request I sent Mr. Daniel and
the Chancellor on the 19th or do you have it?
