Regarding: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear Ms. Myrick,

Under the auspices of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. Subsection 552, I am
presenting this correspondence before you as a formal Freedom of Information Act Request. The
specifics of my request pertain to any documents that contain the following:

• Letters or other similar correspondence that were delivered on behalf of the Drug Enforcement
Agency to FOX Broadcasting Company. The specific context of these letters pertain to one of
FOX's television programs, HOUSE, and what the DEA has deemed “the main character's
flagrant use and abuse of narcotics without consequence.” Furthermore, any letters that
explicate the DEA's recommendations to FOX to construct the proper parameters and or
changes for the main character to appear appropriate.

In order to help ascertain my status for purposes of determining the applicability of any fees, you
should know that I am making the aforementioned request specifically for educational and private use.
Unless additional circumstances arise, I would like to request that search time be limited to two hours
and duplication set at 100 pages. If in the event more search time and duplication yield further
resources, I would like to be notified of the costs.

If you deny my request, either in part or its entirety, please cite each specific exemption you feel
justifies the refusal to release the aforesaid information. If appeal procedures are available to me under
the law please impart that information as well.

I would like to take this time to conclude this correspondence and thank you for taking time out of your
busy schedule to consider my request.

Most Respectfully,

From: Mr. Thomas Proulx
