Subject: Re: Jeffrey Epstein-Related Touhy Requests Date: Sat, 04 Jan 2020 13:31:23 +0000 I defer to you two on tone. One nit—the letter switches between DOJ and Department. I think Department is the more formal. On Jan 3, 2020, at 8:49 PM, wrote: Thanks very much for drafting this, and I think generally it looks great. My only small thought would near the end, in the penultimate paragraph, where I'd suggest replacing the first two sentences with (something like): "My understanding is that you may intend to make a formal written request pursuant to the above-described regulations. [If you choose to submit .. .]" I say that only because the current language makes it sound like they were supposed to submit something in writing, or that they otherwise erred, when in fact what they actually asked for was just an explanation of the appropriate form in which to make a formal request—which they can do consistent with the regulations set forth in the letter. Does that sound alright? And of course on any of these I also entirely defer to M. thanks again, From: (USANYS) Sent: Friday, January 03, 2020 12:55 To: Cc: C (USANYS) Subject: RE: Jeffrey Epstein-Related Touhy Requests All, (USANYS) ; (USANYS) Please find attached an initial letter to Kaplan Hecker re: the request for information related to Epstein. Please let me know if you have any edits or concerns. Once I have sign-off, I'll send to Robbie Kaplan (by mail and at or let me know if I should use a different address). assuming there are not huge changes to be made here, I think the letter/email could just go out as the next contact with Robbie on this, but I leave it up to you if/how you want to separately give her notice that it's on the way.
