House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government reform examined the FOIA tracking systems in 2011 of various government agencies. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a vital tool that allows the American public to access government information and ensure transparency and accountability. Agencies with higher scores demonstrated accountability and transparency, while lower scores indicated challenges in managing and responding to FOIA requests. This oversight highlights the importance of agencies' commitment to transparency in their operations under FOIA.
