Government slow to enact e records under FOIA study shows
The Chronicle-Telegram reports a National Security Archive study finding federal agencies slow to implement the 1997 FOIA amendments requiring online access. Only a small share fully meet the law, with NASA and Education Department cited as better examples. Blanton notes Web publishing cuts costs and boosts transparency, citing VA, Defense, Interior, DNI, and SBA as major laggards amid 2005 FOIA costs of about $319 million.
