Washington, D.C. 20260 Re: Appeal of FOIA Request No. 2020-FPRO-01322 Dear General Counsel: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) hereby appeals the initial determination by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) on a portion of CREW’s request under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) for records concerning voting by mail in the upcoming presidential election and the replacement of the Postmaster General. As set forth below, the USPS failed to conduct a search reasonably designed to uncover all responsive documents, as evidenced by the limited number of responsive records USPS claims to have uncovered. Further, the USPS improperly relied on FOIA Exemption 5 to withhold nearly the entire contents of the disclosed records. On June 16, 2020, CREW submitted to the Postal Service by email a FOIA request for ten categories of records. First, CREW requested copies of any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General of the United States, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 1”). Second, CREW requested any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Postmaster General of the United States Megan Brennan referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 2”). Third, CREW requested any and all briefing materials or documents, including testimony, or responses to questions for the record, created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to any United States Senator, member of the United States House of Representatives, or congressional staff, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 3”).

    The US Postal Service's Use of Contractors to Deliver Mail

    The U.S. Postal Service’s Use of Contractors to Deliver Mail: Background and Recent Developments Kevin R. Kosar Analyst in American National Government May 29, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42549 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The U.S. Postal Service’s Use of Contractors to Deliver Mail Summary Currently, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is collectively bargaining with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and National Rural Letter Carriers Association (NRLCA). One issue that may or may not be settled is the Postal Service’s use of non-USPS employees (i.e., contractors) to deliver mail. If the parties cannot come to a satisfactory arrangement, Congress may be approached to consider the matter. Contractors have delivered mail to homes and businesses since 1900. Controversy over this practice arose in 2007 when the NALC alleged that the USPS had expanded the use of contractors into city areas at the expense of unionized membership. Congress held hearings on the matter, and legislation was introduced in both houses. The USPS and NALC came to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in October 2008 to govern the practice, which appeared to quell the controversy. The expiration of the USPS-NRLCA and USPS-NALC collective bargaining agreements and contracting MOU may reopen the issue. The USPS and the two unions have been unable to come to agreement through negotiations and mediation. The USPS has entered binding arbitration with the NRLCA and soon will do the same with the NALC. Whether a mutually agreeable solution to the use of private contractors to deliver mail will be found remains to be seen.

    FMS Morning Announcements

    Good Morning FMS Today is Friday, February 19th A Day Asynchronous B Day Synchronous (In Person) Created by Jack U.. Today’s Welcoming Ritual Think about a time when you believed something that was not entirely true but you thought was true because of a rumor. How did you find out that the information was unreliable? How did you view the person who spread the gossip after this happened? If you want to learn more about this topic, visit: https://www.nps.gov/articles/william-h-carney.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Harvey_Carney https://civilwar.wikia.org/wiki/William_Harvey_Carney http://www.civil-war-facts.com/Black-Civil-War- Soldiers-Facts/William-Harvey-Carney-Facts.html William Harvey Carney was born into slavery in Virginia. William escaped through the Underground Railroad to Massachusetts and bought the rest of his family out of slavery at a later time. He attended a private (secretive) school ran by a minister that taught him how to read and write. February of 1863, William joined the Morgan/Toussaint Guards (name changed) which was a Black Militia. Once the military allowed blacks to join the Guards joined the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. March of 1863, he was promoted to Sergeant. In July of 1863, the 54th Regiment and Carney charged Fort Wagner in South Carolina. During the charge, the flag bearer was shot and killed so Carney grabbed the flag before it touched the ground and place it on the wall of the fort while Union troops attacked. Receiving wounds to the face, shoulders, arms, and legs, Carney felt like he was doing his duty and kept the flag from touching the ground as his troops retreated under heavy gunfire.
