The GAO today issued a report, Information Management: Update on Implementation of the 1996 Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments. The GAO’s study indicates a significant backlog in the response of federal agencies to freedom of information requests. Due no doubt in no small measure to the Patriot Act, agencies have not kept pace with requirements to make goverment documents available in accordance with the Electronic Freedom of Information Act (e-FOIA).
