Dear Mr. Dunagan:

l:nited States Department of State

Washington, D.C. 20520

Case No. F-2013-08812 Segments: L-0002, S/ES-0002

OCT l 3 2015

I refer to our letter dated September 18, 2015 regarding the release of certain Department of State materiaJ under the Freedom of lnformation Act (the '' FOlA"), 5 U.S.C. § 552.

The review of records retrieved from the Office of the Legal Adviser is complete. We have reviewed three additional responsive records and have determined that two may be released with excisions, and one must be withheld in full. All released materiaJ is enclosed.

The search of the Office of the Executive Secretariat is complete. We have reviewed 2 additionaJ responsive records and have determined that both may be released with excisions. All released material is enclosed.

An enclosure explains FOIA exemptions and other grounds for withholding materiaJ. Where we have made excisions, the applicable exemptions are marked on each document. The document withheld in full is being withheld under FOlA Exemption 3, 5 U.S.C. §552(b)(3), pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. app. § 105. All non-exempt material that is reasonably segregable from the exempt materiaJ has been released.

Please be advised that this completes our processing of your request. If you have any questions, your attorney may contact Peter Wechsler, Trial Attorney, at (202) 514-2705 or Peter. Wechsler@ usdoj.gov.

Sincerely,

John F. Hackett, Director Of1i.ce oflnfonnation Programs and Services

r The plan was for her to be terminated as of June 2, and then become a SGE effective June 3. However, because she h s not been deared by L yet for the SGE appointment, that transition has not occurred yet.

Are you able to dear her for the SGE appointment now while she conti_nues to work on the termination report?

Her termination report is Incomplete, Schedule B, Part I and II were left blank. Schedule C, Part II was left blank. I hope she proyided all of her spouse's assets. Marcella I believe told him, either Hu ma or her husband called her yesterday indicating there were more assets. The documents I have do not have the income Information, only the value

Thanks Huma-

I did not see this on the OGE 450, but we can amend that report.

------···- ..

For the OGE 450 (New Entrant report), did you hold more than $1,000 in each of these holdings as of the day you signed the report? Please let me know-we will need to amend. Also, do you anticipate in the new position participating in matters involving any of these entities? NO, MY NEW POSmON IS IDENTICAL TO MY OLD POSITION. I

As to transactions for the OGE 278, which is now a joint termination annual report, you should pick a date within 30 days of your termination date, and report your assets as of that date. All income from CY 2011 through to that date will need to be reported. Transactions for all of CY 2011 through that date will also need to be reported. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED. SARAH SPECIFICAll Y TOLD US JANUARY 31ST AND THAT WAS THE HOLDINGS OOOJMENT I FORWARDED-TO HER LAST WEEK.

. I Yes, we do need to identify the source of your husband's income-this should have been done on the 278s througho~t your prior position. (We don't need to report amount, but we need to identify the employer). Under s.eparate cover, I will forward a link to the Instructions for the OGE 278. 1 DIDNT GET A SEPARATE LINK FROM YOU BUT SINCE HE WAS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS, HE ALWAYS FILLED OUT HIS OWN RNANCIAL DISCLOSURE AND THAT COPY WAS ALWAYS PROVIDED ALONG WITH MY COPY. SINCE HE RESIGED, HE HAS BEEN THE PRESIDENT OF WOOLF WEINER ASSOCIATES.

Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. Today I can be reached aC ~ I Will CALL YOi SHORTLY TO BE SURE All IS IN ORDER. IF THERE IS ONE FORM WE BOTH NEED TO Fill OUT, HAPPY TO 00 THAT.

Thanks again, Best Regards, -Marcella
