Last week the ALA Washington Office signed onto a
letter<http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/officeadmin-foia.pdf>requesting
that the White House’s Office of Administration be once again
subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

“We, as organizations advocating for government transparency, were heartened
by the President’s commitment to creating “an unprecedented level of
openness in Government.” As the President noted, “a democracy requires
accountability, and accountability requires transparency.” Without question,
transparency in the functioning of the Executive Office of the President and
its components like OA play a critical role in meeting this commitment.”
