Re: 2020-HQFO-00197
Dear Mr. Evers:
This is the final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS), dated November 19, 2019, and received by this office on
November 19, 2019. You are seeking the following:
1. All guidance, directives, instructions, policies, and procedures (including that transmitted via
email, memoranda, or other means of communication) regarding the use of properties owned by
the Trump Organization for government-sponsored meetings, conferences, or travel. Both
technical/logistical guidance as well as policy guidance should be considered responsive to this
request;
2. All guidance, directives, instructions, policies, and procedures (including that transmitted via
email, memoranda, or other means of communication) regarding reimbursement for meals,
overnight stays, or other expenses incurred at properties owned by the Trump Organization. Both
technical/logistical guidance as well as policy guidance should be considered responsive to this
request; and
3. All records reflecting costs reimbursed or paid directly by your agency for visits to any
property owned by the Trump Organization. Reimbursements include payments for lodging,
meals, conference fees, incidental expenses, costs for transportation, costs of individual airfare,
per diem payments, overtime payments, payments made via government-issued charge cards or
travel cards, or other reimbursable expenses. This request encompasses costs incurred not only
by government employees, but also by their spouses or any staff or security detail assigned to
government employees traveling to any Trump Organization property.
A search of the Department of Homeland Security’s, Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
for documents responsive to your request produced a total of one (1) excel spreadsheet. After

VERSIGHT

 review, I have determined that portions of the spreadsheet are partially releasable, pursuant to
Title 5 U.S.C. § 552 (b)(6), FOIA Exemption 6.
Enclosed is the excel spreadsheet with certain information withheld as described below:
FOIA Exemption 6 exempts from disclosure personnel or medical files and similar files the
release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. This requires a
balancing of the public’s right to disclosure against the individual’s right to privacy. The privacy
interests of the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any minimal public
interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in that information
does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test.
You have a right to appeal the above withholding determination. Should you wish to do so, you
must send your appeal and a copy of this letter, within 90 days of the date of this letter, to:
Privacy Office, Attn: FOIA Appeals, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2707 Martin
Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, Mail Stop 0655, Washington, D.C. 20528-0655, following the
procedures outlined in the DHS FOIA regulations at 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.5(e)(2). Your envelope
and letter should be marked “FOIA Appeal.” Copies of the FOIA and DHS FOIA regulations
are available at www.dhs.gov/foia.
Provisions of FOIA allow DHS to charge for processing fees, up to $25, unless you seek a
waiver of fees. In this instance, because the cost is below the $25 minimum, there is no charge.
You may contact the DHS FOIA Public Liaison at 202-343-1743 for any further assistance and
to discuss any aspect of your request. You may also contact OGIS at the National Archives and
Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services they offer. The contact
information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information Services,
National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road-OGIS, College Park,
Maryland 20740-6001, e-mail at ogis@nara.gov; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll free at 1-877684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741-5769.
If you need to contact our office again about this matter, please refer to 2020-HQFO-00197.
This office can be reached at FOIA@HQ.DHS.GOV or call 202-343-1743 or toll free 1-866431-0486.
Sincerely,

James V.M.L. Holzer
