The article argues the need for informed public consent backed by access to government information through the FOIA. It notes reforms in 1966 and 1974, then details Reagan era attempts to restrain disclosure, with FBI CIA lobbying for exclusions, and business groups pressing for tighter limits. It cites examples denied access like Navy directories and pesticide data.

Reagan invited Teamsters President Roy Lee Williams to the White House days after his indictment, seen as a gesture of appreciation for union support in 1980.

A closing note mentions a Soviet embassy softball team winning a city league title, composed mainly of journalists.
