Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information Act was adopted by Congress in 1966 and on July 4 of that year, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law. FOIA gives the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions that protect personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.
SUNSHINE WEEK
Sunshine Week is a nonpartisan collaboration among groups in the journalism, civic, education, government and private sectors that shines a light on the importance of public records and open government.
