Notable Quotes 2
Because your request seeks information from Department of Justice (the "Department") employees acquired during and as part of their performance of their official duties, your request is governed by certain Department regulations—commonly referred to as Touhy regulations—which, inter alia, prohibit any Department employee from disclosing such information "without prior approval of the proper Department official in accordance with §§ 16.24 and 16.25 of this part."
To assist the United States Attorney in evaluating your request, we ask that this demand provide a detailed statement of the information sought; the litigation for which you seek this information; the pertinence of the information sought to your litigation; and the availability (or absence) of means in that litigation, including discovery, to obtain the information in question.
