SRS Watch has filed a FOIA request with DOE’s Savannah River Site for documents related to “DEIA.”
The request of February 3, 2025 is for the following documents:
Any communication, including emails, sent by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) or by management of the Savannah River Site to DOE and contractor employees at SRS concerning compliance with the memorandum entitled “Initial Guidance Regarding DEIS Executive Orders.”
Any communication, including emails, sent to SRS staff directing that “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility” programs be halted and that the terms diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility – as well as other terms, such as “justice” – be removed from SRS documents, reports and emails.

If you have copies of the above documents, please feel free to share them with us and others: srswatch@gmail.com.
Note: This FOIA request was filed with SRS but the response was, as DOE’s nuclear weapons division (National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has taken over SRS, that the request should be filed with NNSA in DOE HQ: https://www.energy.gov/nnsa/nnsa-foia-request-form. Thus, an already weak FOIA is dealt another blow.
NNSA’s initial response, Feb. 6, 2025, acknowledging receipt of the SRS Watch FOIA request: FOIA 25-00234-PV Clements ACK LTR DEI memo to SRS Feb 6, 2025
