Implementing the Amended FOI Act.
McClain, Wallis
The Freedom of Information Act amendments, which became effective in February 1975, have so far yielded mixed results. This report provides an account of how different federal agencies are implementing this amended statute. Among the topics discussed are modifications of the original 1966 Freedom of Information Act, which were made in the attempt to eliminate the law's loopholes; the interpretations of the Judicial Review Section; the effect of Attorney General Edward H. Levi's memorandum to federal agencies; implementation of the amendments by agencies; and guidelines established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Internal Revenue Service. A summary of the current employment of the act is presented, and an appendix provides a listing of the "Federal Register" citations of agency procedures for implementation of the amended act. (KS)
