NSA Keeps Thorough Records On Everyone Except DOE (Dept. Of Energy)
On a personal note, I did a FOIA request from the DOE this week and here's what popped up on their site...
"Since most DOE records are not retained permanently, the more information that you provide, the better the opportunity there is to determine if the records involved still exist and where. The FOIA clearly states that records must exist at the time the request is submitted." 
I asked them if I should FOIA the NSA for their records on the DOE instead...I await their response.
