Treasury Wins Award for Worst FOIA Agency
The LCCR was not the only one to notice Treasury's leisurely response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) blog reports; "In the spirit of Sunshine Week, today the National Security Archive announced the winner of its annual Rosemary Award, named after President Nixon's secretary Rose Mary Woods, infamous for 'accidentally' erasing 18 ½ minutes of an important Watergate tape. And the winner is... The Treasury Department, for its mishandling of and all around unresponsiveness to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests!"
