The document is a letter from an attorney at Martin G. Weinberg P.C. to Melanie Ann Pustay and Sean R. O'Neill regarding a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by Jeffrey Epstein for records related to past FBI investigations involving him.

The attorney argues that this delay is unreasonable and violates the FOIA's requirements.

The Office of Government Information Services has released its fourth annual report for FY 2013 detailing their activities and accomplishments in resolving Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) disputes between requesters and federal agencies. The demand for their services is high, with the number of incoming cases jumping 40% from the previous year to over 500 cases, while closing nearly 500 cases - also a 40% increase from the prior year. They assisted thousands of FOIA requesters and worked with agencies to promote compliance with FOIA. While they have carried out Congress's mandate in several ways, they would like to implement a more robust review program as demand for their services increases.
