Re: Freedom of Information Act Request
Dear Sir or Madam:
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ("CREW") makes this request for
records, regardless of format, medium, or physical characteristics, and including electronic
records and information, audiotapes, videotapes and photographs, pursuant to the Freedom of
Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. 552, et seq., and U.S. Air Force ("Air Force")
regulations, 32 C.F.R Part 806.
First, CREW requests any and all technical specifications for helicopter drip pans
purchased from Phoenix Products, Inc. Phoenix Products (CAGE Code: 04206) is a military
parts manufacturer based in McKee, Kentucky, that has received over $20 million in earmarks
and military contracts from the Department of Defense since 2000. Specifically, CREW requests
blueprints, drawings, product requirements, or technical specifications for leak proof
transmission drip pans purchased from Phoenix Products with the following specifications:
National Stock Number (NSN):
Part Number:
Contract Number:
5340-01-547-7028
DP3-5-01
W58RGZ-07-D-0267
Second, CREW also seeks any and all records of or reflecting communications from
January 1, 2005, to the present to, from, and/or between officials at Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base regarding helicopter drip pans and any and all of the following:
1) Mr. Thomas Wilson;
2) Ms. Peggy Wilson;
3) Any or all individuals identified as officers, directors, or employees of Phoenix Products
Inc.;
4) Representative Harold "Hal" Rogers;
5) Robert "Bob" Mitchell;
6) Blackhawk Drip Pans;
7) UH-60 Drip Pans;
8) UH-60 Leak Proof Transmission Drip Pans.

Finally, CREW seeks any and all transaction records from January 1, 2005, to the
present, relating to Phoenix Products. Specifically, CREW requests inventory lists, packing lists,
purchase orders, delivery confirmation receipts, installation records, parts lists, invoices,
warranty information, etc. for any and all transactions with Phoenix Products.
Please search for responsive records regardless of format, medium, or physical
characteristics. Where possible, please produce records electronically, in PDF or TIF format on
a CD-ROM. We seek records of any kind, including electronic records, audiotapes, videotapes,
and photographs. Our request includes any letters, emails, facsimiles, telephone messages, voice
mail messages, and transcripts, notes, or minutes of any meetings, telephone conversations, or
discussions. Our request also includes any attachments to these records.
If it is your position that any portion of the requested records is exempt from disclosure,
CREW requests that you provide it with an index of those documents as required under Vaughn
v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 977 (1972). As you are aware, a
Vaughn index must describe each document claimed as exempt with sufficient specificity "to
permit a reasoned judgment as to whether the material is actually exempt under FOIA."
Founding Church of Scientology v. Bell, 603 F.2d 945, 949 (D.C. Cir. 1979). Moreover, the
Vaughn index must "describe each document or portion thereof withheld, and for each
withholding it must discuss the consequences of supplying the sought-after information." King
v. US. Dep't of Justice, 830 F.2d 210,223-24 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (emphasis added). Further, "the
withholding agency must supply 'a relatively detailed justification, specifically identifying the
reasons why a particular exemption is relevant and correlating those claims with the particular
part of a withheld document to which they apply."' !d. at 224 (citing Mead Data Central v. US.
Dep 't of the Air Force, 566 F.2d 242, 251 (D.C. Cir. 1977)).
In the event some portions of the requested records are properly exempt from disclosure,
please disclose any reasonably segregable non-exempt portions of the requested records. See 5
U.S.C. 552(b ). If it is your position that a document contains non-exempt segments, but that
those non-exempt segments are so dispersed throughout the document as to make segregation
impossible, please state what portion of the document is non-exempt, and how the material is
dispersed throughout the document. Mead Data Central, 566 F.2d at 261. Claims of
nonsegregability must be made with the same degree of detail as required for claims of
exemptions in a Vaughn index. If a request is denied in whole, please state specifically that it is
not reasonable to segregate portions of the record for release.
Finally, CREW welcomes the opportunity to discuss with you whether and to what extent
this request can be narrowed or modified to better enable the Air Force to process it within the
FOIA's deadlines. Anne Weismann, the CREW attorney handling this matter, can be reached at
(202) 408-5565 or aweismann@citizensforethics.org.

Fee Waiver Request
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(A)(iii) and Air Force regulations 32 C.F.R.
806.29 (b)(5), CREW requests a waiver of fees associated with processing this request for
records. The subject ofthis request concerns the operations of the federal government and
expenditures, and the disclosures will likely contribute to a better understanding of relevant
government procedures by CREW and the general public in a significant way. Moreover, the
request is primarily and fundamentally for non-commercial purposes. 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(4)(A)(iii). See, e.g., McClellan Ecological v. Carlucci, 835 F.2d 1282, 1285 (9th Cir.
1987).
Specifically, these records are likely to contribute to greater public awareness about
contracts awarded to vendors through congressional earmarks. Since 2008, Rep. Rogers has
earmarked $10.1 million for the Army to procure helicopter drip pans from Phoenix. See
http://www .opensecrets.org/politicians/ earmarks.php?cid=N000034 73 &cycle=20 1 0;
http://www .opensecrets.org/po liticians/ earmarks. php?fy= FY09&cid= N000034 73 &cycle=20 1 0;
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/earmarks.php?fv=FY08&cid=N000034 73&cycle=2008
(Attached as Exhibit 1 ). These contracts were awarded without a competitive bidding process,
and, as a result, Phoenix had little incentive to produce the most cost-efficient product. Through
the public distribution of technical data and accompanying documents, CREW seeks to ascertain
whether taxpayer funds are being distributed fairly.
CREW is a non-profit corporation, organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code. CREW is committed to protecting the public's right to be aware of the activities
of government officials and to ensuring the integrity of those officials. CREW uses a
combination of research, litigation, and advocacy to advance its mission. The release of
information garnered through this request is not in CREW's financial interest. CREW will
analyze the information responsive to this request, and will share its analysis with the public,
either through memoranda, reports, or press releases. In addition, CREW will disseminate any
documents it acquires from this request to the public through its website,
www.citizensforethics.org, which also includes links to thousands of pages of documents CREW
acquired through its multiple FOIA requests as well as documents related to CREW's litigation
and agency complaints, and through www.scribd.com.
Under these circumstances, CREW satisfies fully the criteria for a fee waiver.
News Media Fee Waiver Request
CREW also asks that it not be charged search or review fees for this request because
CREW qualifies as a "representative of the news media" pursuant to the FOIA and Air Force
regulations 32 C.F.R. 806.29 (b)(5). In Nat'! Sec. Archive v. US. Dep 't of Defense, 880 F.2d
1381, 1386 (D.C. Cir. 1989), the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found the
Department of the Air Force
September 22, 2011
Page 4
National Security Archive was a representative of the news media under the FOIA, relying on
the FOIA's legislative history, which indicates the phrase "representative of the news media" is
to be interpreted broadly; "it is critical that the phrase 'representative of the news media' be
broadly interpreted if the act is to work as expected. . .. In fact, any person or organization
which regularly publishes or disseminates information to the public ... should qualify for
waivers as a 'representative ofthe news media."' 132 Cong. Rec. S14298 (daily ed. Sept. 30,
1986) (emphasis added), cited in id
CREW routinely and systematically disseminates information to the public in several
ways. First, CREW maintains a frequently visited website, www.citizensforethics.org, that
received 34,201 page views in August 2011. In addition, CREW posts all of the documents it
receives under the FOIA on www.scribd.com, and that site has received 1,221,800 page views of
CREW's documents since April14, 2010.
Second, since May 2007 CREW has published an online newsletter, CREWCuts, that
currently has 15,818 subscribers. CREWCuts provides subscribers with regular updates
regarding CREW's activities and information the organization has received from government
entities. An archive of past CREWCuts is available at
http://www.citizensforethics.org/newsletter.
Third, CREW publishes a blog, Citizens bloggingfor responsibility and ethics in
Washington, that reports on and analyzes newsworthy developments regarding government
ethics and corruption. The blog, located at http://www.citizensforethics.org/blog, also provides
links that direct readers to other news articles and commentary on these issues. CREW's blog
had 3,425 page views in August 2011.
Finally, CREW has published numerous reports to educate the public about government
ethics and corruption. See The Revolving Door, a comprehensive look into the post-government
activities of24 former members of President Bush's cabinet; Record Chaos, which examines
agency compliance with electronic record keeping responsibilities; and Those Who Dared: 30
Officials Who Stood Up For Our Country. These and all other CREW's reports are available at
http://www.citizensforethics.org/reports.
Based on these extensive publication activities, CREW qualifies for a fee waiver as a
"representative of the news media" under the FOIA and agency regulations.
