The original of the 8 Sept., 2008 letter from LTG Campbell to then Gov. Sarah Palin would certainly be in files at the Governor’s office. I have little doubt that the 4 August, 2008 Report by MAJ Matthew Cooper was also forwarded to the governor’s office as a matter of course to justify LTG Campbell’s actions with respect to the ASDF, and to demonstrate completion of the investigation of my complaint to then Gov. Sarah Palin. Further, the 2005 Report by then LTC Robert Doehl is within the Governor’s purvey to produce as Commander-in-Chief, ASDF and as the Governor. I did not make the FOIA request at issue to DMVA. Again, at least two of the documents are undoubtedly in files from the previous administration at the Governor’s offices. Therefore, the Governor’s offices have an obligation to produce what they have. If it is the intent of the Governor to refuse production, please provide a letter stating such.

  • GGD-97-86S World Wide Web Sites: Reported by 42 Federal
    United States General Accounting Office GAO Supplement June 1997 World Wide Web Sites Reported by Federal Organizations GAO/GGD-97-86S Preface This publication supplements our report entitled Internet and Electronic Dial-Up Bulletin Boards: Information Reported by Federal Organizations (GAO/GGD-97-86, June 16, 1997). It contains a listing of approximately 4,300 World Wide Web (WWW) sites that 42 federal organizations reported to us. The definition of a WWW site can vary. Because we were requested by the Chairmen of the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs to identify the number of distinct WWW sites and to encourage consistent reporting, we defined a WWW site as a file or group of files organized under a homepage, that is accessible on the Internet using web browser software. A WWW site’s homepage is typically the index, welcome, or menu page for a distinct WWW activity or service. As expected, federal organizations reported a large number of WWW sites that reflect the large number of activities within the federal government. Although we contacted federal organizations where we had questions concerning whether they understood our definition of a WWW site, due to the large number of reported WWW sites, we could not verify that all federal organizations used our definition. Furthermore, some federal organizations reported that the list they provided of their WWW sites was not in accordance with our definition or was not complete. Some reported that they do not track this type of information and to obtain these data would have involved a major data collection effort.
