From: Ava Sasani
Hello,
Thank you for email. I wanted to check in about your estimated completion date? If I narrow the records request to just apply to UCLA and UC Berkeley (instead of the entire University of California) can I expect that date to move up? Also, would you be able to release documents on a rolling basis before the final "completion" date?
Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!

Dear Ms. Sasani:
The University of California Office of the President (UCOP) has completed searching for records responsive to your request. As written, your request is overly broad (contract(s) or agreement(s) with Raytheon, or any subdivision thereof) because it does not identify staff or departments who would have such records or the name of Raytheon's subdivisions or staff. However, in an effort to be as transparent as possible, we have checked with our local and systemwide Procurement, Development Policy and Advancement Relations, External Relations & Communications, Institutional Advancement and Governance departments and no such contracts, agreements, gifts, communications or records were found.
With this communication, UCOP considers this request closed, please reference CPRA 19-2694 on any future correspondence.
Sincerely,
UCOP Public Records
