This response is made on behalf of the Office of the Associate Attorney General (OASG). Please be advised that records searches have been conducted on behalf of OASG. As a result of these searches, we located 161 pages that contain records that are responsive to your request. I have determined that 28 pages should be withheld in full, subject to court-imposed non-disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the Office of Information Policy is prohibited from releasing this information to you. Additionally, I have determined that 133 pages should be withheld in full pursuant to Exemption 5 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5). Exemption 5 pertains to certain inter- and intra-agency communications protected by the deliberative process and attorney work-product privileges.
