In your June 22, 2016, letter you requested a segregability review of eight documents consistingof thirty-four pages of e-mails from and to the United States Coast Guard Atlantic Commanddated from June 2 to June 5, 2010, which were originally withheld in their entirety. All thirtyfour pages are now being produced (DHSCoastGuard 0835-0868) with redactions made pursuantto exemption b(5) (deliberative process and attorney-client privileges) and exemption b(6)(personal identifiable information.)

Eric,I called the National Command Center (HQ) to find out if they had any new info(location specifically) on this vsl. They did not - I have copied them on this email. My next step is to get contact info for Port State POC's in Cyprus andGreece should we need to interact with them at your direction (I don't wantmultiple CG reaching out to them at the same time). I'll stand by for furtherinfo. My cell and desk number are listed in my profile.Jack
