matter and concluded that, although Ms. Sanchez unquestionably engaged in corrupt activity, the
Department of Health's decision to contract with the vendor under these circumstances is sound.
The Department of Health is not required to maintain the records that you have
requested, and you are not entitled to obtain them from the Department of Health under the
Procurement Policy Board Rules. In addition, if construed broadly, your request may cover
documents that would he confidential in nature. Finally, as indicated in the submissions already
filed with your office, Ms. Sanchez was convicted in the Southern District of New York. I am
confident that you will be able to find the documents that you seek at the federal courthouse in
that district.
The Office of the Comptroller is required to register or object to the registration of the
contract on August 23, 2000. I look forward to the prompt registration of this contract.
