The Freedom of Information Act (commonly known in government circles as FOIA) was designed to allow citizens and the media much greater access to government files, deliberations, etc.

The following two articles, as well as other additional articles identified in these items appearing at govexec.com, show that further access to government information was recommended by a Senate panel last week.  Terry Kivlan’s September 22 article reports on the Open Government Act, a bill co-sponsored by Senators Leahy (D-VT) and Cornyn (R-TX).  Daniel Pulliam’s August 28 piece talks about efforts to improve the FOIA process governmentwide.
