Mr. Brett Sisto

Counsel

Committee on Financial Services

Washington, DC 20515

Dear Mr. Sisto:

This confirms our discussion of Friday, April 28, 2017, regarding the Department of
Housing and Urban Development?s (HUD) response to the Chairman?s letter dated April 3,
2017, regarding Committee Intent to Control Congressional Records. Among other things, the
April 3, 2017, letter requested that HUD confirm by May 1, 2017, that it would not produce
congressional records, as described in the letter, in tesponse to a request under the Freedom of
Information Act or any other provision of law or agreement on the grounds that such documents
are not to product and are constitutionally privileged.

As we discussed, because of the need for interagency coordination with the Department
of Justice and the Department of the Treasury, HUD has been granted an extension by which to
respond to the Chairman?s April 3, 2017, letter.

Please contact me at 202?402?5300 if you have further questions regarding this matter.

Sincerey,

      

Aaron Santa Anna
Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations
