It is my understanding that your office intends to release the requested information to the extent it is included in the requested database.

In my opinion the custodian's decision is consistent with the FOIA. 323 CENTER STEET, SurrE 200 • LrrrE Rocm, ARKANsAs 72201 TELEPHONE (501) 682-2007 FAx (501) 682-8084 IrEmu WE~srrE • http://www.ag.state.ar.us/
