Default compare 2 columns, enter data from other column

I have been struggling with a formula - help!
I want to copy data from one sheet to another but only if there is an exact
match of data.

I need help with the structure of the formula - I can massage it later to
fit the specifics.

First, I need to find any exact match of the text in D1 of Doc1 to any row
in column E of Doc2.

If there is a match, then:
from that match's row in Doc2, I want to enter the data from column A into
column B of L1's row in Doc1.
If there is no match, nothing happens.

Can anyone help? Spent hours trying to set this up. I need the formula -- or
if someone knows how to write a macro to do this, that would work too.
Doc1
A B C D E F
1 AB
2 CD
3 ED
4 GH
5 IJ
6 KL

Doc2
A B C D E
1 4 NO
2 6 ST
3 -4 ED
4 5 MO
