Assignment #7B Reading Response Blog
The Freedom of Information Act or FOIA is an act that provides people the right to request access to federal agency records of information except for those records that are Protected from disclosure by special law enforcement record exclusions. The American agency that administers the work proposed in the Freedom of information act is the department of homeland security which is a department of the United States federal government that’s responsible for public safety in America. In my opinion I believe the FOIA act benefits citizens because it allows Americans to be aware of what’s going on in the government and build trust between citizens and the government, by the disclosure and transparency of these records it helps Americans such as myself feel safe within my country.
