Improving FOIA Operations
Read Scott A. Hodes' LLRX column on FOIA and Executive Order 13392. His conclusion:
I believe FOIA operations will not significantly improve until:
• the Congress passes legislation that ties up lose ends caused by the march of technology and fully funds FOIA operations at agencies to reduce backlogs; and
• High level agency officials support FOIA Offices in their agencies by making sure they get the support they need on the various troublesome issues in those agencies. Hopefully someone will get the message and a real effort to improve FOIA operations in the near future.
