Dear Ms. Creighton:
This correspondence and the accompanying records constitute the Departmental
FOIA Office’s (DFO) fifth interim response to the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request submitted by American Oversight on November 1, 2017.
This fifth interim response also responds to the matter of American Oversight v. U.S.
Department of Commerce, et al., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-00534 currently pending
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The pending Complaint in the above referenced matter is based on USDA’s alleged
failure to comply with the applicable time-limit provisions of the FOIA in response to
American Oversight’s request for the following:
1. All calendars or calendar entries for any of the following individuals
between the date of January 20, 2017, to the date a search is conducted,
including any calendars maintained on behalf of these individuals (e.g., by
an administrative assistant or a scheduler):
• Secretary Sonny Perdue
• Deputy Secretary or Administrator to Secretary Perdue
• Chief of Staff to Secretary Perdue
• Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary Perdue
• Chief of Staff for the Office of Civil Rights, Joby Young
• Senior Adviser, Heidi Green
2. Any calendars maintained for the Secretary’s Conference Room, and
the Deputy Secretary or Administrator’s Conference Room.
Below are the details regarding the DFO’s search for Secretary Sonny Perdue’s
calendar. Also below are the details regarding the records found in connection with
the search, and a description of the FOIA exemptions applied to select records.

Search Efforts
A search for responsive records was conducted by the Office of the Secretary’s (OSEC)
telecommunications provider, Client Experience Center (CEC). This provider performs
network services for OCIO to include electronic messaging operations, electronic
calendars, blackberry, mobile device management (MDM), file and print, remote access,
voice, network, service desk, and other application services. CEC searched those
Outlook accounts associated with the Secretary from the time he on-boarded up until the
date of its search on December 26, 2017. A total of 334 pages were found to be
responsive. The DFO has confirmed that the records provided in this fifth interim
response constitute the Secretary’s official USDA calendar and that no other official
business calendars (electronic or paper) exist.
Following a review of the responsive records, the DFO determined that certain
information contained in the records should be withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemptions 5,
6 and 7(C), U.S.C. § 552(b)(5), (b)(6), and (b)(7)(C). Below is an explanation of the
information that has been withheld.
Application of 5 U.S.C. §552(b)(5) “FOIA Exemption 5”
FOIA Exemption 5 protects from disclosure those “inter-agency or intra-agency
memorandums or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an
agency in litigation with the agency.” Two of the most frequently invoked FOIA
Exemption 5 privileges are the deliberative process and the attorney-client privileges.
To fall within FOIA’s deliberative process privilege, the records must be both predecisional and deliberative; the records must precede the adoption of an agency policy
and include the opinions, recommendations, or deliberations on a legal or policy matter.
The information being withheld under the deliberative process privilege consists of intraand inter-agency, pre-decisional discussions contained in email communications relating
to budget and trade negotiations, potential reform initiatives and policy issues, draft
agendas never circulated, and recommended talking points not relied upon by agency
speakers. By withholding this information, the DFO is protecting the integrity of the
agency’s decision-making process and ensuring no inhibition of free and frank exchange
between federal personnel. The DFO is also ensuring against the premature disclosure of
proposed policy, which could, if released, cause confusion to the public regarding the
agency’s policy positions.
The DFO is also withholding information under the attorney-client privilege. This
privilege protects confidential communication between an attorney and his/her client
relating to a legal matter for which the client has sought professional advice. Although
this privilege fundamentally applies to facts divulged by a client to his/her attorney, this
privilege also encompasses any opinion given by an attorney to his/her client based upon
www.dm.usda.gov/foia

VERSIGHT

those facts, as well as communications between attorneys that reflect client supplied
information.
Additionally, a few records are being withheld under the presidential communications
privilege, which exists to protect advisory communications made to both the President
and his close advisers.
Application of 5 U.S.C. §552(b)(6) “FOIA Exemption 6”
FOIA Exemption 6 permits the government to withhold information regarding
individuals in “personnel, medical and similar files” when the disclosure of such
information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and
where such privacy interests outweigh any public interest which would be advanced by
disclosure. For purposes of the FOIA, the public interest is advanced when disclosure of
the requested information educates the public about the activities of the government.
Portions of the records produced as a result of CEC’s search efforts were withheld under
FOIA Exemption 6. These items include the names and contact information of security
agents, residential addresses, personal telephone numbers, personal email addresses,
business contact information not available online, email addresses tied to members of the
Executive Office of the President, names and other information related to interviewees,
information related to personnel actions, information related to personal appointments,
and places where the Secretary rested overnight (RON). All these items fall under the
category of “similar files” because they apply to particular individuals. Release of the
names and contact information of security agents, residential addresses, personal
telephone numbers and personal email addresses, business contact information not
available online, email addresses tied to members of the Executive Office of the President
and RON locations could subject individuals to unwarranted or unsolicited
communications. With regard to the other items, although not likely to lead to
unwarranted or unsolicited communication, they are all still very personal in nature.
Since there is a viable privacy interest in this information and no outweighing public
interest to be advanced by disclosure, FOIA Exemption 6 authorizes the DFO to withhold
these items from release.
Application of 5 U.S.C. §552(b)(7)(C) “FOIA Exemption 7C”
Exemption 7 protects from disclosure “records or information compiled for law
enforcement purposes” that fall within the purview of one or more of six enumerated
categories. To qualify under Exemption 7, the information must have been compiled,
either originally or at some later date, for a law enforcement purpose, which includes
crime prevention and security measures, even if that is only one of the many purposes for
compilation. Exemption 7(C) provides that, “records of information compiled for law
enforcement purposes” may be withheld from disclosure, but only to the extent that the
www.dm.usda.gov/foia

production of such documents “could reasonably be expected to constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy…” In applying Exemption 7(C), the DFO
considered whether a significant privacy interest would be invaded, whether the release
of the information would further the public interest in shedding light on the operations or
activities of the government, and whether in balancing the privacy interests against the
public interest, disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.
The information withheld under Exemption 7(C) consists of the information related to the
identities of security personnel. These individuals have a significant privacy interest in
their identities, which, if known, could expose them to unwarranted invasions of their
privacy. Furthermore, releasing their identities would reveal little about the operations or
activities of the Government. Therefore, withholding this information is appropriate
under Exemption 7(C).
The DFO’s review of responsive records is still ongoing. In light of the matter American
Oversight v. U.S. Department of Commerce, et al., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-00534
currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, administrative
appeal rights are not being provided in this response letter.
If you have any questions or concerns about this fifth interim response or the pending
civil action, please contact Mr. James C. Luh, Senior Trial Counsel, U.S. Department of
Justice, Civil Division, Federal Programs Branch at James.Luh@usdoj.gov.

The Stoneville Experiment complex was started in 1904 to address challenges in
Delta agriculture by Mississippi State University.
*As the years, and the challenges, grew, federal research programs assisted State
scientists in efforts to be more profitable.
*The idea for a federal weed control lab to complement and cooperate with State
programs was conceived in 1961, and shortly thereafter in 1964, programs in
insect control and cotton physiology.
*In 1971, the completion of the Jamie Whitten Building cemented the physical
presence of USDA-ARS at Stoneville and the research programs continued to
grow.
*Its primary mission began as a cotton research center for the Mid-South, but it
grew to encompass all Southern row crops. (Corn, cotton, soybean, rice, and
catfish)
*The Mid-South Cotton Ginning Laboratory was established in Stoneville.

*The establishment of the Cochran National Waimwater Aquaculture Center in
1988 focused on the burgeoning U.S . faim-raised catfish industiy in a paiinership ,
again, with MS State University.
*Biotechnology disciplines became more important at the tum of the centmy. The
estab lishment of the National Biological Conti-ol Laborato 1y in 2003 under scored
this focus on a changing agricultm·al sector.
*Today, the Stoneville Research Complex has a $60M budget, 500 employees ,
158 ph.d scientists, and over 150 advanced degree technicians supported by
technicians and other supp ort staff.
*From its beginnings as a cotton reseai·ch facility focusing just on Mississippi ,
Arkansas, and paiis of Louisiana, today USDA-AR S in Stoneville is the
headquaii ers for 13 states in the Southeast.
*The people who comprise the USDA -AR S family ai·e the bedrocks of our
chmches, om youth programs , om schools, om Chamber s of Commerce , our civic
clubs , and all of the eff01is that go into makin g om communities better. The people

Arrive to First Baptist Church -- Pastors reception area

If he could be here by 9 AM and tell him to come to the Pastors reception area (he knows 
where that is) and we will get together.  Then, the service starts at 9:30.  He will be up to 
speak by 10 AM and can have whatever time he desires.  35‐45 min is usually what we 
do. We will dismiss around 11 AM and then if he desires to greet people, that will be fine. 
We can eat a brunch/lunch meal about 11:15 or so.  I would say he would be ready to 
depart by noon or a little after. Then the afternoon, he could be at the downtown park 
about 5:45 to start our service/concert there about 6 PM.  After he welcomes the crowd, 
they could feel comfortable leaving any time they desired.  If we need to provide a room 
for them for the afternoon or night, let me know.
The main thing I need to know is how many for lunch and if they have food preferences. 
WE will fix whatever they want.
