The Freedom of Information Act allows people to access information and records from federal government agencies unless the information has been subjected to certain disclosures. Congress passed the Freedom of Information Act and the Office of Information Policy of the U.S. Department of Justice administers the work proposed in the FOIA. I think the Freedom of Information Act does benefit citizens because it allows people to put forth claims about certain government agencies. However, I still feel the government can do what it wants because people are just not as powerful as the government. The government has the ability to determine what they want to do with the FOIA requests. The Archive website says it can take a month or even years for people to hear back from federal agencies once they’ve put in certain claims. While I have reservations about the efficiency of the FOIA requests, I do think this act has a place in American society and can be beneficial.
