Notable Quotes 2
Because your request seeks information from Department of Justice (the "Department") employees acquired 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."
A party seeking to obtain records or employee testimony from the Department must first submit a written demand.
