Dear Governor Beebe and Mexican Consulate:

Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101), (Arkansas
FOIA) I hereby request copies of the public records identified below. I am requesting any and all
documents, which shall be construed to include any written or electronic document, including but
not limited to faxes, emails, telexes, telegraphs, statistics, graphs, memoranda, compilations, or
communications falling under the purview of the Arkansas FOIA other writings of any form that
discuss or touch upon the following subjects:

(a) All documents regarding the transportation of any persons to and from Mexico, for
purposes associated with the creation, financing, or operations of the Mexican Consulate
in Little Rock, Arkansas.

(b) All documents authorizing or evidencing the payment or provision of any state money,
property, or labor, to be used for the creation or operation of the Mexican Consulate in
Little Rock, Arkansas.

(c) All documents promising or suggesting that other state money, property, or labor will or
may be paid or supplied in the future for the operation of the Mexican Consulate in Little
Rock, Arkansas.

(d) Copies of any contracts, deeds, leases, or rental agreements pertaining to the Mexican
Consulate in Little Rock, Arkansas, either for the purpose of securing said property or for
the purpose of giving the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock, Arkansas, the legal right to
use the property.

Alternatively, if you are otherwise unable to comply with this request, I request reasonable access
to the identified public records and reasonable comforts and facilities for the full exercise of the
right to inspect and copy those records.

The purpose of this request is to receive the pertinent documents but one time. Therefore, any
documents provided by the governor’s office need not be supplied by the Mexican Consulate in
Little Rock, Arkansas, and vice versa.

Since I don’t have a fax number for the Mexican
Consulate in Little Rock, Arkansas, this request will be sent to them by first class mail only.

Thanking you for your kind attention to this matter,
Yours very truly,
Joe McCutchen
