DECISION FOIA/public-records counsel's program counterpart in a reorganization that moves programs across bureaus must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using FOIA search-term and exemption log after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. FOIA search-term and exemption log reads as Pay or continue once a member's question that the program cannot answer from data is maps to the same Government population. 2. FOIA search-term and exemption log is closer to Recoup after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data; Pay or continue would over-claim this Oversight and Records extract. 3. Deny is still live in FOIA search-term and exemption log for FOIA/public-records counsel's program counterpart in a reorganization that moves programs across bureaus. 4.
