Attached is a letter I received regarding the accident from the other party 

insurance company. I wanted to pass this along since this may be the personal 

side of the claim from the individual to the USDA counsel. I am not sure if I 

should respond or leave it up to the Government Insurance to respond. I was 

advised by a lawyer to seek advice on this from the USDA counsel, since I was 

on official duty, before responding. I was also wondering if I may be able to 

receive a print out of the speed I was going at the time from the telematics for 

court purposes.

the non-case sensitive keyword "Pfizer" in part or in full in the subject line or 

body. Please be sure to check to make sure that any emails that may contain 

attachments, that they are included, as oftentimes I will get responses back 

from agencies with some or all attachments missing. Also, please note that I 

would like all attachments to the emails, regardless if they contain the noncase sensitive keyword "Pfizer" in them or not, only the subject line or body of 

the email need contain the non-case sensitive keyword "Pfizer". In the past, I 

did have an agency not provide all attachments, as they misinterpreted my 

FOIA request, and thought I only wanted attachments if they too contained 

the particular non-case sensitive keyword I had requested which was in either 

the subject line or body of the email.
