Groups Send Letter to Ridge Concerning Freedom of Info and Homeland Security Act

From ALA, a pdf version of a three page letter sent to Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, on August 27, concerning limitations on the public dissemination of “homeland security information” determined to be “sensitive but unclassified.” ALA was one of 75 organizations that signed the letter (including journalists, evironmental groups, scientists and privacy advocates). The signatories seek public comment on the implementation of new procedures that would restrict the dissemination of critical federal and state and local data associated with homeland security, as interpreted by the Homeland Security Act.
