EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES November 4, 2020 Via Electronic Mail Re: FOIA Request # 20200007F This is the first interim response to your Freedom oflnformation Act (FOIA) request to the Export­ Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank). We received your request in our FOIA Office via E-mail on October 20, 2019. You requested a copy of emails containing the key words: white house, Trump, President, administration, political and/or unethical; that were either received or sent by Lisa Terry and/or Lance Mathews from January 1, 2019 to present (date ofrequest). We conducted a comprehensive search of the files within the Office of Information Technology, records that would be responsive to your request. This is the component within Ex-Im Bank in which responsive records could reasonably be expected to be found. The search produced the attached records. After carefully reviewing the responsive documents, we have determined they are partially releasable pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4), (b)(5) and (b)(6). For your convenience, we are attaching the documents to this message as a PDF(s). Any redactions are accompanied by the corresponding FOIA exemption(s): FOIA Exemption 4 protects trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential. This subsection protects confidential commercial information, which (1) submitters customarily keep private or closely-held and (2) where the government provided some assurance of confidentiality, whether express or implied. FOIA Exemption 5 protects from disclosure those inter- or intra-agency documents that are normally privileged in the civil discovery context. The three most frequently invoked privileges are the deliberative process privilege, the attorney work-product privilege, and the attorney-client privilege. After carefully reviewing the responsive documents, we determined that portions of the responsive documents qualify for protection under the following privilege(s): • Deliberative Process Privilege The deliberative process privilege protects the integrity of the deliberative or decision-making processes within the agency by exempting from mandatory 811 Vermont Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20571 I Main: 202 565 3946 I Fax: 202 565 3380 exim.gov Page 2 disclosure opinions, conclusions, and recommendations included within inter­ agency or intra-agency memoranda or letters. The release of this internal information would discourage the expression of candid opinions and inhibit the free and frank exchange of information among agency personnel. • Attorney-Client Privilege The attorney-client privilege protects confidential communications between an attorney and his client relating to a legal matter for which the client has sought professional advice. It applies to facts divulged by a client to his attorney, and encompasses any opinions given by an attorney to his client based upon, and thus reflecting, those facts, as well as communications between attorneys that reflect client-supplied information. The attorney-client privilege is not limited to the context of litigation. 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. Please be advised that we continue to search for and review documents which respond to the remaining items listed in your request and will provide you with additional interim response(s) as documents are reviewed and approved for release. Please note that we will furnish you with any applicable appeal rights with our final response. Also, during our search for responsive records, we located records that originated within the Farm Credit Administration, the General Services Administration and the Office of Government Ethics. Therefore, we are transferring the document to those agencies for consultation. For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories oflaw enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. §552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all of our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist. You may contact our FOIA Public Liaison, Ms. Lennell Jackson at (202) 565-3290 for any further assistance and to discuss any aspect of your request. Additionally, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (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, email at [email protected]; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741- 5769. 811 Vermont Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20571 I Main: 202 565 3946 I Fax: 202 565 3380 exim.gov Page 3 If you have any questions about this request, please contact Mr. James Dixon at (202) 565-3292 or by E-Mail at [email protected].

  • Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... and the Rest of the List
    » Newsletter Sign­Up About Advertising Contact Enter your email... Subscribe Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... And the rest of the list Our City is ending our list of San Diego's 20 Most Influential people with new Mayor Kevin Faulconer. He has become San Diego's Most Influential person. When we began compiling this list back at the end of 2013, the race to replace disgraced former Mayor Bob Filner was ongoing and it was unknown who would be leading the city. Now, of course, we know. Faulconer won easily over his opponent, freshman Council member David Alvarez. Faulconer won, but the honor brings its share of hurdles. First is continuing the work that interim Mayor Todd Gloria started, which is to bring stability and honor back to the office. Secondly, it is to lead the nation's eighth largest city at a time when many challenges face it, such as infrastructure woes, homelessness, a shortage of affordable housing, income inequality … Faulconer has stepped quickly into his new role. He's already spearheaded a number of initiatives to improve San Diego's neighborhoods, increase library and rec center hours and beef up public safety. He named Shelley Zimmerman as police chief, the first women in San Diego to hold that post. When the recent wildfires hit, he offered a calm and measured presence. His influence may well go beyond San Diego as well. He's the only Republican mayor of a major U.S. city. Other Republican politicians may look to his rise as a blueprint to achieve similar success. Recent Highlights He did so by taking a moderate approach on social issues.

  • September 18, 2018 Democracy Reform Task Force Rep
    � -.· ,.. ..7 1, . � � SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 DEMOCRACY REFORM TASK FORCE REP. JOHN SARBANES, CHAIR President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington. He vowed that as President he would take steps to break the “cycle of corruption” and end “decades of special interest dealing,” 1 and he pledged to aggressively pursue meaningful reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government. 2 But President Trump has broken this promise to the American people. Specifically, the Trump Administration has: • Made a Mockery of Ethics Law and Regulation • Promoted a Culture of Secrecy in the Executive Branch • Stacked His Cabinet with Big Money Campaign Donors • Installed a Special-Interest Revolving Door into the Trump White House • Put Big Money Ahead of the Public Interest • Turned the Presidency into a Profit-Making Enterprise • Pursued Public Policy for Trump’s Personal Benefit • Raided the Treasury to Pay for Vacation & Private Business Promotion As President Trump marks his 600th day in office, this report – the sixth edition in the Democracy Reform Task Force’s series of “100 Ways” oversight reports – lists 600 ways that the Trump Administration has broken its campaign promises. Here are all of the examples. 1 Donald J. Trump Campaign. “Trump Pledged to Drain the Swamp and Impose Congressional Term Limits.” October 18, 2016. 2 Ibid President Trump’s “Ethics” Executive Order was supposed to “drain the swamp.” As this exhaustive list shows, the Executive Order was just another example of President Trump’s tendency to overpromise and underdeliver. We have continued to witness the Administration openly flouting ethics regulations and conflict-of-interest law to an unprecedented degree.
