The materials in FOIA 2012-3228-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA.

The specific request was for records on SAVE being used for voter registration purposes or records evaluating the system's reliability. A file compiled by Betsy Anderson, Associate Director for Legal Policy in the Office of Policy Development, was identified as responsive to the above request.
