Abstract:

On December 19, 2000, we briefed your offices on our review of the 1996 Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments, known as e-FOIA. As you know, the Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to make certain types of information available for public inspection. e-FOIA, among other things, was intended to improve agency responsiveness and provide for greater public access to government information electronically. In response to your request, we reviewed the progress made at 25 major federal departments and agencies in implementing the e-FOIA amendments.
