Ryan D. Holden
Director, Congressional and Public Affairs
May we impose upon your office
to contact the State Department's
FOIA Disclosure Officers, to
inquire why we have not yet received
any acknowledgement to our routine FOIA Request? See
below.
It is our understanding that the
FOIA does not require any demonstrations
of relevance or materiality.
However, in this particular instance, if the requested PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION
is either missing entirely, or
seriously defective, there are several reasons why that finding
of fact has very far-reaching
legal ramifications. See 5 U.S.C.
2902(c) in chief.
For example, see also this
NOTICE OF DEFECTIVE DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
as recently addressed to
President Donald J. Trump on 3/27/2025:
Mr. Garland's Bio describes a
relatively long legal career with the Federal Government,
after graduating magna cum
laude from Harvard Law School in 1977. For that one reason,
we think it is practically
impossible that he remained entirely unfamiliar with Federal
credential laws like 5 U.S.C.
2902(a):
"Secretary of
State shall make out and record".
We will look forward to your
timely assistance in this matter.
RSVP via email (preferred).

At your earliest

Greetings
Disclosure Officer(s), U.S. Department of State:
If the U.S.
Secretary of State is the designated legal custodian
of any PRESIDENTIAL
COMMISSION issued to Merrick Garland
during Joseph
Biden's period in the White House, please consider
our original FOIA
Request below to be re-submitted hereby to you.
If possible, we
would also appreciate it very much if you will consent
to expedite this
simple Request, due to the manifold legal ramifications
that will arise,
if it turns out that Merrick Garland was never properly
commissioned to the principal Office of U.S. Attorney General.
In particular, if
you are able to confirm that no such PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION
is presently in
your legal custody, we would most appreciate receiving that
specific
confirmation as soon as humanly possible, preferably via email
(which can then be
rapidly archived in the Supreme Law Library).
President Donald
J. Trump; and,
Douglas R.
