Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Washington, D.C. 20224 September 12, 1996 Mr. Paul A. Mitchell Person to Contact: 2509 North Campbell - #1776 M. Zolton Tucson, AZ 85719 Telephone Number: (202) 622-6250 Refer Reply to: 96-1911 Dear Mr. Mitchell: This is in reponse to your July 26, 1996, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all financial records of the Performance Management and Recognition System (PMRS). Your request was forwarded to us by the Office of Disclosure Services, Department of the Treasury, so that we can respond to you directly. We apologize for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, your request is not specific enough to allow us to conduct a search for the records that are of interest to you. For example, you have not stated the years for which you are interested in obtaining records. Please be advised that the PMRS has not existed for the last 3 years. In addition, it is our understanding that awards made under PMRS took the form of cash payments or quality step in-grade promotions. Therefore, the types of financial records associated with awards made under PMRS did not include the kinds of records mentioned in your request. It would be helpful if you could be more specific in describing the desired records. Accordingly, you may wish to reformulate your request to assist us in finding the responsive material. If you decide to do so, your perfected request will receive our close attention. Sincerely yours, /s/ Mark L. Zolton Tax Law Specialist FOIA Branch [emphasis added] # # #
